Khadija Jamila Roane | Filmmaker + IC

✨ A milestone moment ✨

I’m officially listed on @idcprofessionals as an Intimacy Coordinator (TV + Film) — certification pending.

For me, this isn’t a pivot — it’s an expansion. As a multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker, I’ve always been invested in how stories feel in the body. Adding intimacy coordination to my toolkit is about ensuring that same care extends to every performer on set.

So, what do Intimacy Coordinators actually do?

We exist because the industry has often failed to provide safety and clarity around intimate or vulnerable work. My role bridges artistry and consent:

• Translating the director’s vision into clear, repeatable choreography
• Establishing boundaries and agreements with actors so they can fully focus on their performance
• Documenting, advocating, and communicating so no one has to carry discomfort in silence
• Bringing a trauma-informed, identity-conscious lens so that bodies—especially those of BIPOC and LGBTQ+ performers—are treated with care and respect

The stories I’m especially called to are ones that center Black and queer characters, sex worker narratives, and stories of desire, vulnerability, and power. These are often the stories that have been exploited or erased, and I want to ensure they’re handled with the artistry and integrity they deserve.

I’m hireable NOW and actively completing my required 10 on-set days toward certification. If you’re a producer, director, or 1st AD—or if you have filmmaker friends working on shorts, features, or music videos—let’s connect.
