Testimonials
“I have worked on over twenty short films and in the production office of a few studio productions but I experienced a whole new facet of filmmaking working with Ashley. I worried that it would be a burden to our schedule to incorporate an Intimacy Coordinator but Ashley actually saved us time on set, quickly helping me solve choreography challenges and offered language that helped me direct sensitive scenes. Our actors also expressed huge appreciation to me for pulling her on. She was an absolute asset to our team.”

“Having worked professionally in the film, television, and theatre industries for over a decade, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with numerous Intimacy Coordinators. I can confidently say that Ashley has not only surpassed my expectations but has also set a new standard for the role. Her comprehensive approach and excellent communication are equally matched by her level of care and dedication to the people she works with. Ashley ensures that everyone feels safe, respected, and empowered, and her attention to detail creates an environment where both artistry and personal boundaries can thrive.”
