Intimacy Coordinator – Mr. Essler graduated from IDC Professionals’ Intimacy Coordinator program in 2022 to become Western & Central NY’s first (and currently only) fully-sanctioned IC. He can work on all film, video and photography projects, both union and non-union. As a talent advocate, Mr. Essler’s design as an IC focuses on three key areas: disrobing, physical intimacy between actors, and trauma/retraumatization.
