Provide advice and guidance on intimacy documents for productions

This standard is about working with the performers and the production team to confirm and record the agreed intimate actions to take place on a production. The documentation you will be responsible for includes risk overview for script breakdown, notes for nudity riders, individual scene risk assessments, cast and crew memos, closed set protocols, specialist content protocols, wrap reports.

This will also involve providing support and advice to performers and production team on the language and use of nudity waivers and riders. A nudity waiver or rider is a contractual document between the production and performer which allows the production to shoot footage showing nudity levels and performance of simulated sex.

This standard is for Intimacy coordinators.
