What’s my role on set?

Just as Stunt Coordination prevent physical injury, Intimacy Coordination ensures emotional safety during vulnerable scenes—nudity, simulated sex, touch, romance, birth, or violence.When actors, directors and producers feel safe, they are more likely to take risks. Through consent-based choreography, boundary work, and safety protocols, I help productions run smoothly—protecting the cast, crew, and story while saving time.Together, we create stories that are bold, authentic, and unforgettable.

Why work with me?

I bring warmth, grounding, and honesty to sensitive scenes—turning what once felt daunting into something safe, collaborative, and possible.After completing my MA in Global Communications in Paris, I moved to India to work in menstrual health education. During this time, we visited schools and talked to girls about menstruation. Shy at first, but watching them open up and share their period stories giggling remains one of my most cherished memories. I later worked in sexual & menstrual health storytelling with various companies across the globe which eventually led me to film.Trained with IDC and continuously deepening my practice through workshops and embodied work, I now guide intimate scenes with presence and care—creating space for honest performances and brave storytelling. See all my trainings here.Having lived across cultures, I adapt quickly to diverse set environments and bring flexibility and empathy to every project.

Crime, Thriller | AT 2025SYNOPSIS
"VERSTUMMT"
When popular singing teacher Darko Labrovic is brutally murdered during a morning bike ride, the clues lead to the venerable halls of the St. Florian Boys' Choir. A charming colleague, an obsessive fan and his protégé with a troubled past come under the investigators' scrutiny. The clock is ticking, because the entire list of suspects is about to leave for a concert tour in Argentina."EIN PRACHTKERL"
When Joe and Biggi begin investigating the death of an amateur birdwatcher at the edge of the forest, their initial focus falls on his best friend, who is also a birdwatcher. They are surprised to discover that Pichlwanger's favourite journalist, Patrizia Specht, is the sister of the deceased man's partner. Could she have something to do with the murder? Or is it about a missing protected bird of prey that a hunter wanted to hang on his wall as a trophy? Gradually, it becomes clear that domestic violence plays a role – and that the dead man's partner wanted to end the relationship in a deadly way..."INS LETZTE LOCH"
When Natalja, the cook at the Waldkirchen Golf Club, disappears without a trace, Pichlwanger immediately suspects Jonathan, the man who has been stalking Biggi for some time and making her life difficult. He happened to show up at the golf club on the very day Natalja disappeared – can that be just a coincidence? And what about Natalja's boyfriend, Günther Pramhofer? The investigators' old acquaintance reported her missing and seems desperate, but he is concealing important details – perhaps the misogynistic curmudgeon Joe and Biggi have been pretending from the start so that he doesn't appear suspicious? Ultimately, it turns out that Natalja was blackmailing her boss – because of his affair with her colleague Corinna. The investigators are finally on the right track, but as a race against time begins to find Natalja alive, things also become really dangerous for Biggi – because Jonathan is forcing her to finally pay attention to him...DIRECTOR Claudia Jüptner-Jonstorff, Franziska Pflaume

Coming-of-Age | 20 min | AT 2025SYNOPSIS
At school, Maya is one of the ‘cool kids’ and tries to maintain this status: tagging, giving cheeky answers and flirting with the school crush Georg. Homework is exchanged for Makava. This brings the two closer together between the classroom and the school bus. One night, after a classic drinking session with friends, Georg doesn't want to wait any longer and lies down on top of the drunk Maya in the middle of the night. Although she doesn't give her consent and can't give it, he starts kissing her. The morning after obscures the rape that happened during the night: suddenly Georg is her loving crush again. Maya, whose sense of injustice was actually quite clear, suddenly begins to doubt herself. She is confused and does not want to admit what happened that night. Her friends did not notice anything and ask Maya if she and Georg are now a couple. Maya agrees.DIRECTOR & SCRIPT Lotta Schweikert

Drama | 20 min | AT 2025SYNOPSIS
‘I arrived in the city sweaty and half out of it after an extremely fictitious flight.’ That's how it all begins. After separating from his wife, IT consultant Ernest finds himself stranded in Malaga. He is repeatedly called to Vienna on business, but this time the bank he is supposed to work for has unfortunately disappeared. Probably an explosion? Before he can get to the bottom of the matter, he meets Alvin in a bistro: in his mid-twenties, tender, handsome, a little quirky, magnetic. And, as it turns out, filthy rich. Alvin ‘earns’ his money at home by trading leveraged derivatives on his laptop: betting on the future of products from all over the world. He offers Ernest a place to stay without further ado. Soon Alvin lets him participate in his derivative trades and teaches him how to erase from his consciousness the fact that every sum you earn yourself is lost by someone else. Ernest begins to lose himself in Alvin's cold, rational world. The yin and yang of capitalism. An enigmatic, attractive and mysterious relationship develops between the two.DIRECTOR Olivia Axel Scheucher
