I work as an intimacy coordinator on a wide array of projects, ranging from fiction and documentary to fine arts and virtual reality. I am often recruited for complex and demanding intimate scenes due to my unique background and extensive experience with unsimulated erotic image production and work with minority identities and sexualities. As an intimacy coordinator I have worked with topics such as fatness, racialized violence, extreme kink/bdms, sexual dysfunction, mental health and hebephilia. I aim to create a safe space - where we can be brave, vulnerable and stand in integrity - by giving language to those things that are hard to express, voice and power to those who are often not heard. By focusing as much on how we handle mistakes and transgressions as i do on avoiding them, and by allowing room for imperfection while learning and creating a culture where accountability, humility and softness are the cornerstones. Where we build trust, confidence and a tool box to step up to challenging tasks together.

EXPERIENCE
BRINGS A DIFFERENT
EXPERTISE
Before I made fiction, I made porn.
In 2018 I co-founded and became the leader of notorious Copenhagen porn collective Bedside Productions, where I developed the ethical framework and the dogmas that made a new wave of thoughtful queer feminist porn production and sex positivity in Copenhagen possible. We named the person in charge of applying this framework the “Emotional Fluffer”, and it's been my job to train and supervise them since.
My work at Bedside has given me invaluable skills and understanding that forms the fundament for my work as an intimacy coordinator today. Being in front of the camera taught me what vulnerability feels like, what the right support means and gave me a chance to experience the generosity that lies in sharing intimacy with the world.
Through my work with amateur performers and marginalized sexualities and identities, I became aware of the responsibility that lies in producing and distributing intimate imagery.
This unique experience is what first led to me being recruited by the film- and TV-industry for intimacy coordination services, explicit image/sound production and casting - which in turn has led me to work on a wide array of experimental, brave and ambitious projects.
