Creating Collaborative and Trauma-Informed Spaces to Support Intimate Storytelling on Screen

Certified Intimacy Coordinator for Film & TV

I’m Talya Klein, a certified intimacy coordinator based in Los Angeles, with local housing in New York City, Baltimore, Providence and Southern Vermont. I work with directors, producers, and performers to ensure that intimate or vulnerable scenes are handled with care, clarity, and professionalism. I’m trained and certified through Intimacy Directors & Coordinators (IDC) and bring a trauma-informed, consent-based approach to every set.

Whether you're staging complex intimacy, scenes of power dynamics, or moments requiring emotional sensitivity, I help your cast and crew feel supported—without compromising your creative vision.
