Jean Franzblau is occasionally viewed as some sort of a sex police at her current job as an Intimacy Coordinator. That could not be further from the truth. Jean takes the “awkward” out of shooting uncomfortable sex scenes. It would appear that Jean has stumbled into one of most recent occupations on a Hollywood movie set. The newness of such a position has created confusion by some who cannot fully yet grasp the concept of such a position and what the job entails. Jean is often caught in a position of performing her job whilst simultaneously explaining her job to the necessary parties involved. It also seems as though she inadvertently has to dispel misconceptions and false narratives in order to put others at ease.
It light of the #metoo movement and the sudden awareness of Hollywood’s sexual assault cases and various indiscretions towards women, an Intimacy Coordinator on a set seems like a job position that’s long overdue. Jean appears to be very well trained and does more than a thorough job explaining in a fun way, the protocol and the nuances of what this job requires. Intimacy is her superpower.
