HBO announced it's hiring "intimacy coordinators" to supervise each one of the network바카라 게임 웹사이트s numerous sex scenes. They바카라 게임 웹사이트ll serve as advocates for the actors, relaying their concerns to directors and ensuring that performers are comfortable 바카라 게임 웹사이트 and appropriately covered up 바카라 게임 웹사이트 during filming.
Rolling Stone the move was instigated by "The Deuce" actor Emily Meade, whose role as a prostitute requires her to do sex scenes. Last year, as the #MeToo movement was reshaping Hollywood, Meade demanded that the network hire an advocate who would help protect her during filming. HBO brought on Alicia Rodis, co-founder of Intimacy Directors International, to work on "The Deuce." Now, they바카라 게임 웹사이트re expanding the role across the network:
In practical terms, Rodis is a mediator among actors, directors, producers and crew. She reviews scripts, facilitates group discussions about the sex scenes they바카라 게임 웹사이트re going to film and meets with actors individually. When new or tweaked sex scenes are added to a day바카라 게임 웹사이트s shoot, she is often the one to break the news to an actor, checking in to clarify what their personal boundaries are 바카라 게임 웹사이트 to make sure, as she puts it, that 바카라 게임 웹사이트consent is informed and certain before we move forward.바카라 게임 웹사이트 Then she advocates for the actors in discussions with the production team.
바카라 게임 웹사이트It바카라 게임 웹사이트s not the things [she does] that are so radical,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Meade says. 바카라 게임 웹사이트It바카라 게임 웹사이트s just having someone other than yourself to think about it. It shouldn바카라 게임 웹사이트t be a radical concept to give someone something to cover their private parts. But to have someone do it at all 바카라 게임 웹사이트 the gesture of it 바카라 게임 웹사이트 it helps.바카라 게임 웹사이트
HBO has been for including gratuitous rape scenes in shows like "Game of Thrones" and "Westworld." While the hiring of intimacy coordinators like Rodis isn't intended to shape the content of the network's programming, its intention is to make the sets safer for all actors involved.
"Here we are a year after #MeToo and Brett Kavanaugh sits on the Supreme Court. Donald Trump is our president," Rodis told Rolling Stone. "Now, tell me we don바카라 게임 웹사이트t need this 바카라 게임 웹사이트 that we don바카라 게임 웹사이트t have a culture that needs to still be changed."
