Hanna Hall is a New Orleans based Intimacy Coordinator for film and television.
As a certified Intimacy Coordinator it’s my job to facilitate a safe environment so the actors and directors can focus on the work. Scenes depicting intimacy, simulated sex, kink, nudity, and sexual violence are especially vulnerable for performers, the best art happens when everyone feels safe.

“At every moment, we are choosing either to reveal ourselves or to protect ourselves, to value ourselves or to diminish ourselves, to tell the truth or to hide. To dive into life or to avoid it. Intimacy is making the choice to be connected to, rather than isolated from, our deepest truth at that moment.”
