Eleanor Hodson is an extraordinary intimacy coordinator whose expertise and sensitivity have elevated every project she’s been a part of. Whether working on higher-budget production or a more intimate indie short, Eleanor brings a wealth of knowledge, a deep understanding of storytelling, and an unwavering commitment to creating safe, respectful environments for actors.

I worked with Eleanor in her role as Intimacy Coordinator on a BFI funded short we produced in Sept 24. From the very beginning, Eleanor was courteous and professional and instantly put the cast at ease with her open and honest approach. She managed the intimacy on set beautifully, ensuring that the actors felt comfortable and the crew knew what was expected at every stage of every scene. We can’t wait to work with her on future productions!
- Becky Rooney, Roo Screen
Before working with Eleanor, I hadn't experienced collaborating with an Intimacy Coordinator, so the concept was entirely new to me. Her professionalism and expertise were invaluable to our production, especially given the challenging themes and content we were tackling. I gained essential skills and language from Eleanor that I now carry with me into every project - not only to support intimate scenes but also to enhance the overall well-being of the cast in a variety of scenarios. I look forward to working with her again soon.

Dan Shaw, Filmmaker

Working with Eleanor on my short film ‘Daddy’ was the first time that I had utilised an intimacy co-ordinator. Not only did having Eleanor onboard ensure that my actors and my crew could operate in a safe and respectful way, but Eleanor’s gift for communication gave the project’s intimate scenes an authenticity that can only come from actors who feel completely safe, confident, and well equipped to practice their craft. As a director, having Eleanor with us took nothing from my role, but instead allowed me to guide my actors through these intimate scenes with the assurance that all of us had a shorthand of communication that ensured we would always be safe, respectful, and free to do the job we love.
