Make It Look Real
Claire Warden is a trailblazing intimacy coordinator, helping directors and actors craft convincing on screen intimacy while safeguarding personal boundaries. Hired for a new Australian film, Tightrope, Claire is unsure how the director, Kieran Darcy-Smith, will respond to her presence on set. As she choreographs scenes, designs modesty garments, and navigates the complexities of nudity riders, tensions rise when one of the actors grows uneasy about performing a proposed threesome. Claire and Kieran must collaborate to reimagine the scene balancing the actors’ comfort with the artistic demands of the story.
