Episode 100

Guest: Jessica Erin Bennett

What does planning a car hit have in common with choreographing an intimate scene? On The Staffa Corner Podcast, Greg Staffa talks with stunt performer, stunt coordinator, and certified intimacy coordinator Jessica Erin Bennett about how both jobs rely on clear communication, careful choreography, and knowing what performers are comfortable doing.

Jessica shares how the horseback riding in The Lord of the Rings inspired her stunt career and takes us behind the scenes of Chad Powers. She explains what a closed set looks like, why even an on-screen kiss deserves a conversation, and how a performer’s boundaries can lead to a more creative scene.
