Female Filmmakers and Actors Discuss Creating Intimacy on a Safe Set
Variety: “Everything was so glamorous and cool,” sighs “Hustlers” star Constance Wu of the last lucrative night her character spends working in the strip club before the 2008 stock market crash. The camera agrees. In slow motion, it gawks as 300 people collide like electrons. Men fling money, slide cash into spandex and gaze in awe at women who swing around poles, crawl on bar tops, stroke lapels, sit on laps and caress each other on stage. Usher even smacks Jennifer Lopez’s bottom.

This is the second intimacy article I have read this week and am super excited about this field of work. It is incredible to see everyone working so diligently on art and respectful workplaces. I enjoyed this article more so than some of the other articles on intimacy direction because we also got to hear from female directors and actors who have been on the other side of the camera when it wasn’t so mindful and now being part of the development for the future. I really enjoyed Olivia Wilde’s discussion about her experience on Booksmart and how directing granted her the opportunity to create the spaces she didn’t have when she was an actor filming. I also liked the juxtaposed Hustlers anecdote about how they had to create an environment for not a few people but crowds of people including many extras. I think the importance of this work has really been highlighted and I look forward to seeing more from this field.
