"As an intimacy coordinator, El was a joy to work with. As a director doing his first ever intimate scenes, I was nervous as hell, but El put me at ease and brought such positivity. She dove deep into our intimate scenes' aesthetic and narrative intent, treating each as a unique opportunity to express character and theme in a language beyond words. From prep to the shoot, she collaborated patiently and enthusiastically with me and the actors to help make the process safe, fun, and rewarding- which it was. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat."
