Episode notes
Focus On Emotional Sexuality
- Director Shuchi Talati wanted to normalise teenage female sexuality and strip shame from coming-of-age scenes.
- She focused on emotional intimacy rather than explicit physical acts to depict messy sexuality truthfully.
Make Intimacy Sets Controlled
- Use closed sets and female crew during intimate scenes to protect actors' emotional safety.
- Let actors view camera feeds and approve angles so they retain control over their depiction.
Make Proven Revenge Content Illegal
- Make images and videos proven in court illegal to force platforms to remove them.
- Treat non-consensual intimate content like illegal material so helplines and platforms must take it down.
