Lena Waithe and her production company, Hillman Grad Productions are known for being mindful of inclusion with their staff and now they are extending this with the safety of their productions. The production company has made a commitment to providing safer sets by hiring intimacy coordinators who will serve as an additional resource for staff for all future and current Hillman Grad projects, in front of and behind the camera.
“Intimacy coordinators should not only be mandatory on every set, but they should reflect people from all walks of life,” Waithe told Deadline. “That’s why myself and everyone at Hillman Grad productions thought it was important to invest in helping Black and Brown people, as well as those in the Lbtqia+ community, get certified. It’s a great way to ensure everyone feels safe on set — especially with the person helping them to coordinate intimate scenes.”
