About Yehuda

Yehuda Duenyas is a Los Angeles–based Intimacy Coordinator for film, television, new media, and live performance. He partners with directors, producers, and actors to stage and choreograph intimate content, translating script into clear, repeatable action that protects performer boundaries while serving camera, story, and tone.

With over 15 years working both above and below the line, Yehuda brings unusual production fluency to intimate storytelling: a director’s eye for coverage, a movement-driven understanding of choreography, and a systems mindset built for real-world set pace. He is SAG-AFTRA registered and has supported projects across major studios and streamers, including “The Land” (20th Television), “I Want Your Sex” (Black Bear), “I Love LA” (HBO), “Westworld” Season 4 (HBO), “The Afterparty” Season 2 (Sony/Apple TV+), “MONSTER: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” (Ryan Murphy/Netflix), and “American Gigolo” (Paramount+/Showtime).

Yehuda is known as a director-forward collaborator and actor-centered advocate, someone who can hold creative ambition and safety at the same time. His practice is grounded in cultural fluency, with a long-standing commitment to LGBTQIA+ representation and to building processes that support bold work without chaos. He works closely with ADs, wardrobe, hair/makeup, stunts, and production leadership to keep communication clean and confidential, and to ensure departments can execute consistently from rehearsal through wrap.

The goal is simple: make brave work safer, and safe work braver. Yehuda creates conditions where performers know what’s expected, what’s off-limits, and what will be repeated on camera; where directors have options that land emotionally and photograph with intention; and where production can move efficiently because the plan is clear.
