In the compelling drama titled “The Intimacy Coordinator,” we follow Kate Connolly-Burnham, a renowned intimacy coordinator grappling with a hidden struggle – she’s a sex addict. Despite attending regular support meetings, she indulges in late-night escapades involving pornography, dating apps, and casual encounters. As her personal life becomes increasingly intertwined with her professional duties, she finds it challenging to maintain boundaries, particularly when actor Max starts to suspect something amiss. As Kate’s actions threaten to unravel her, the question arises: for how long can she misuse her position of power?

Connolly-Burnham expressed her enthusiasm about bringing this story to life with an exceptional team. “The Intimacy Coordinator” is bold, wickedly funny, and strikingly human. She’s grateful to collaborate with artists who are not only skillful but brave enough to delve into the intricate and uncomfortable issues that form the core of this film.

Louisa’s screenplay is risky, thought-provoking, and every bit of it is a significant artistic work. Her skill in storytelling is remarkable, and it’s an honor to contribute to this production.

2024’s movie “Sister Wives,” penned, steered, produced, and acted in by Connolly-Burnham, was a contender for the 2025 Oscars, BAFTAs, and BIFAs, and later obtained by Film4 and Channel 4. Subsequently, it garnered over 50 awards at more than 100 international film festivals, with accolades such as best director at The British Short Film Awards, HollyShorts, The Shark Awards, and others. Furthermore, it was recognized with the titles of best British short, best actress, and the audience award at The Iris Prize, sponsored by Pinewood Studios.
