Make It Look Real

LIMITED SCREENINGS. In an era where conversations about consent, power, and representation dominate the entertainment industry, MAKE IT LOOK REAL pulls back the curtain on the reality of Hollywood sets and offers unprecedented access to one of filmmaking's newest roles: the intimacy coordinator.

Actors are trained to say yes – and when it comes to performing sex on screen, this can create a situation fraught with risk. MAKE IT LOOK REAL follows intimacy coordinator Claire Warden as she tries to change attitudes, working with three actors on the set of Tightrope. As Claire helps the actors negotiate their boundaries, writer-director Kieran Darcy-Smith shapes the story – and a collaborative, non-exploitative path for bringing sex and intimacy to the screen emerges.
