Anastasia Trizna
Intimacy coordinator
I am a certified Intimacy Coordinator through a SAG-AFTRA recognized program. I am committed to applying my knowledge and experience to facilitate safer sets and to help actors deliver exceptional performances during intimate scenes.
Based in Finland, I am available for both local and international projects. In the past year I have worked on productions by Just Republic, Handmade Films in Norwegian woods, Nordisk Film Production AS, and Aalto University.
As a member of the Nordic Intimacy Coordinators and the Intimacy Professionals Association, I strive to provide tools for simulating intimacy and choreographing scenes collaboratively with directors and actors. My goal is to create a safe environment where challenging content can be produced responsibly and thoughtfully.
WORKING WITH ME
I am dedicated to understanding and promoting safe, respectful practices around intimacy in the industry. My goal is to support performers in feeling secure and authentic during creative processes, while crafting narratives that foster deep emotional connections with audiences.
As a graduate of the Nordic Intimacy Coordination Programme, I have received comprehensive training in gender studies, trauma awareness, legal considerations, and industry terminology, mentored by leading professionals including Amanda Blumenthal, Malin B. Erikson, and Pia Rickman. I have also participated in workshops with Toronto-based Intimacy Director Siobhan Richardson.
My work aims to contribute to a more inclusive, empathetic, and innovative industry environment.

INTIMACY COORDINTAITION
Intimacy coordinators (ICs) play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and well-being of performers during intimate scenes in film and television. They advocate for clear communication and consent, and work closely with directors to bring creative visions to life while respecting actors' boundaries. ICs are experts in navigating sensitive topics related to intimacy, gender, and relationships, and manage the safety of these scenes through risk management, effective communication, and collaboration with the production team and other partners. Their expertise is essential in creating a secure and respectful work environment for all involved.
In October 2020 Finland became the first Nordic country to establish intimacy guidelines for work in the film & TV industries. Get acquainted with the Nordic Intimacy guidelines & resources:
