Intimacy coordination focuses on safeguarding the physical and emotional wellbeing of the cast and crew through the presence of a dedicated professional (an IC). Ensuring everyone feels empowered to deliver their best performance while maintaining a professional tone concerning intimacy and ultimately enhancing the efficiency of the creative process.

Our intimacy coordinators are committed to fostering a positive, transparent, and safe environment on both set and stage, especially during scenes of nudity, simulated sex, and other intimate moments. This ensures that talent can fully immerse themselves in their roles, confident that their boundaries are being respected. Additionally, ICs are present to support the director in bringing their creative vision to life.

In the dynamic realms of film, television, and stage, the creation of authentic and safe intimate scenes is paramount. This is where our Intimacy Coordinators play a vital role.

Janka NEUSTUPOVA finished her Civil Protection and Crisis Management degree in the Czech Republic. She then worked in a number of EU countries before settling in the UK where she finished her BA (Hons) in Film Studies and Practice and MA in Directing Digital Film and TV. She started her career in independent features with technical knowledge, management skills, background in H&S, and acute analytical skills. Janka quickly established herself as a unique production individual able to support and manage every department of production, not only in the UK, but also internationally. A couple of years before the COVID-19 pandemic started Janka got involved in the mental well-being support for the crew on and off set.
With the rise of COVID-19 cases worldwide, Janka moved back into H&S and supported international projects as a H&S/C-19 Supervisor. Thanks to her experience in the ever-changing entertainment industry and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on people’s mental health, she quickly realised there was a need for additional support for cast, employees and freelancers. Through her numerous set experiences not only during the pandemic, Janka understood that to support and advocate for the cast's mental health & wellbeing she needs to be part of the new specialisation, Intimacy Coordinating. Janka finished the NFTS intimacy Coordination Introductory Workshop in January 2023 and the ESSEC Business school Diversity and inclusion in the workplace training in September 2023 before applying to the leading Intimacy Professionals Association training.

Janka's aim is to combine mental wellbeing support and intimacy support for the cast and crew and to continue the advocacy of this important topic across the EU and the international Film/TV industry.
