Louisa Connolly Burnham on The Intimacy Coordinator and Creating Your Own Acting Opportunities

How do you beat the dry spells in the entertainment industry? You take action, create your own opportunities, and lift up other women along the way.   In this episode of She's All Over the Place, we sit down with powerhouse actor and filmmaker Louisa Connolly-Burnham. Louisa shares her insights on supporting women in film, telling powerful women-led stories, and taking control of your creative journey.   We dive deep into her latest project, "The Intimacy Coordinator"—a dark, sexy, and twisted thriller that explores intimacy, identity, power, and compulsion. Following a protagonist who balances her role as an on-set intimacy coordinator with her personal life as a sex addict, the film tackles a highly relevant cultural subject as dynamics on film sets continue to evolve.   Louisa also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at her incredible trajectory, from her short film "Sister Wives"—which was longlisted for the Oscars, BAFTAs, and BIFAs—to developing it into a feature film with Francis Ford Coppola and Sofia Coppola's production company, American Zoetrope.   Inside this episode: How actors can transition into filmmaking and generate their own work. The changing cultural dynamics and controversies surrounding intimacy coordination on modern sets.
