Claire Warden is hired to choreograph and supervise sex scenes in some of Hollywood's most popular films and television series. A former fight director, it's now her job to guide actors through these scenes unscathed. She works with costumers to create modesty garments and carefully scrutinizes nudity contracts -- all to help the director and actors create the illusion of intimacy. MAKE IT LOOK REAL pulls back the curtain on the reality of creating sex scenes and offers unprecedented access to one of filmmaking's newest roles: the intimacy coordinator.
