2 Great Reviews for Jagged Mind
There’s always going to be good and bad reviews. And I feel like with magical/sci-fi/horror blends, you are really going to get strong opinions on what worked and didn’t.
But here’s the link to two reviews of Jagged Mind, now available on Hulu, that let you know- the simulated sex worked!
Lesbian Thriller “Jagged Mind” Is a Haunting Portrayal of Abuse- by KAYLA KUMARI UPADHYAYA for Autostraddle.

God Forbid Wins Miami New Times Best of Award
Every year the Miami New Times gives out “Best of Miami” awards. Last year when these were announced, I was actually on the set of God Forbid, with Bill Corben and the Rakontur team when they won, in this category, for Cocaine Cowboys.
This year, God Forbid is taking home Best Miami Documentary! Were there lots of contenders? No idea. But, without a doubt, I know this one is the best.
I am very proud to have been the Intimacy Coordinator for the reenactments for this doc. Haven’t seen it yet? It’s on Hulu (and is still their most-watched doc!).
"Jagged Mind" to American Black Film Festival and Hulu in June
Excited to share that Jagged Mind, a film I worked on most of last summer (when I wasn’t on the set of God Forbid) is making its world premiere a feature at the American Black Film Festival here in Miami in June! A few days later, it will hit Hulu, as a Pride feature. Hulu actually kept me very busy last summer!

New Free Downloads
Over on the “Why Hire an Intimacy Choreographer” page, I’ve created 3 new, free, downloads that I think might be useful for theatre or dance companies or production companies or studios considering whether an Intimacy Choreographer is the right fit for the project, and what they can expect that to look like:

Talking about Intimacy Coordination as part of the Miami Film Festival Promos on WLRN's Sundial
I had the honor of being on South Florida radio staple Sundial today to talk about the intimacy profession and give a teaser of my conversation as part of the Miami Film Festival.

Sex Scenes in Film and TV
Right now, my Twitter timeline is full of conversation about sex scenes in film and tv. You might think this is because I am an Intimacy Coordinator. You would be wrong. This is because I follow a lot of other exvangelicals, many who are more engaged than I in debates with current evangelicals.
There are apparently many folks who feel like current entertainment options have TOO MUCH SEX! Never mind that it’s really not the case. They don’t like it!
I think it is really interesting that this conversation is so hot (haha, get it?) around sex, and not around violence.
Read MoreMoney and Time
Money is a challenge for every artist. Despite the buzz around Intimacy work for theatre, film, dance, tv, and opera, payment remains a sticky subject for any Intimacy Director or Intimacy Coordinator.

Read MoreThe Relationship of Consent and Power
Consent cannot exist if someone is under manipulation, influence, or coercion. Therefore, consent cannot exist when power dynamics are at play. Because power dynamics, whether social-structural or embodied, influence how we chose, behave, and speak.
Which is why consent does not exist for performers or students.
