      "details": "At heart, Leigh is a film and television lover. As a certified intimacy coordinator, she is most excited to help directors realize their visions while maintaining a safe and collaborative environment.\r\r​\r\rAfter receiving her BA in Studio Art at the University of Texas at Austin, she entered the world of freelance film work and spent most of her time immersed in the production office, but also dabbled in the costumes, locations, art, and accounting departments. She is proud to have been credited on over 30 Texas made feature film and television projects, and notably on some of Texas’ most iconic films and shows, including Office Space (20th Century Fox), Friday Night Lights (NBC), and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (New Line Cinema).\r\r \r\rFollowing her 15 year career as a Texas-based production coordinator, she spent several years supervising an exhibit hall fabrication project for the Houston Museum of Natural Science. She then went on to support the state's media industries at the Texas Film Commission as a production incentives specialist, which introduced her to the impactful work of intimacy coordination. Leigh is passionate about production and intimacy work, and always strives to deliver the highest quality results in the chillest manner possible.",
