About Me
Nice to meet you!
I'm Payton, a New York-based producer and intimacy coordinator passionate about promoting consent-first intimate and sexual content in media. I've been dedicated to this work since 2016, training at Intimacy Directors and Coordinators, and received my certification in 2023. Right now, I'm in the final year of my apprenticeship.
With a background in arts activism and producing, I advocate for ethical and safe creative practices, working on projects that challenge societal complacency regarding sexism, racism, and stigmatization.
My latest project, "Solicitations," set to release in 2025, is a culmination of six years of interviews with sex workers about their experiences with consent on internet platforms
Does your production invovle nudity, simulated sex, or intimate scenes? If so having an Intimacy Coordinator (IC) is essential.
An IC helps ensure scenes are handled safely and professionally, advocates for actors' boundaries, and helps choreograph intimate moments to fit your vision while maintaining comfort for all involved.
So you know you need an IC. Amazing! Let’s chat.
