Question 1

Under US employment law, an intimacy coordinator working as an independent contractor on a film set is primarily responsible for ensuring which of the following?

Accepted Answer

Their own workers' compensation coverage

Answer

Independent contractors are responsible for their own insurance and workers' compensation, unlike employees whose coverage is provided by the employer.

Question 2

Which legal doctrine most directly supports an intimacy coordinator's obligation to stop a scene if an actor withdraws consent mid-rehearsal?

Accepted Answer

Informed consent and bodily autonomy

Answer

Informed consent and bodily autonomy are foundational legal and ethical doctrines establishing that consent can be withdrawn at any time, requiring immediate cessation of the activity.

Question 3

A production asks an intimacy coordinator to keep a complaint from a principal actor confidential and not report it to HR. The coordinator's ethical obligation is to:

Accepted Answer

Report the complaint through appropriate channels regardless of production pressure

Answer

Intimacy coordinators have an ethical duty to ensure complaints are properly reported; suppressing reports to protect production relationships violates professional standards and potentially labor law.

Question 4

Which of the following best describes a 'scope of practice' violation for a certified intimacy coordinator?

Accepted Answer

Providing psychological counseling to an actor experiencing trauma

Answer

Providing psychological counseling falls outside the scope of an intimacy coordinator, whose role is coordination and advocacy, not licensed mental health treatment.

Question 5

When a production's nudity rider conflicts with protections established in the SAG-AFTRA Intimacy Coordinator Agreement, which generally takes precedence?

Accepted Answer

The SAG-AFTRA agreement, as union agreements typically supersede individual rider terms that reduce protections

Answer

Union collective bargaining agreements generally establish minimum standards that individual contracts cannot undercut, so SAG-AFTRA protections typically prevail over conflicting rider terms.
