Hi, I’m Jazzy Ellis (she/her)!
I work in Film/TV as an Intimacy Coordinator, a Stunt Professional, and an Actor.
I am also in the healing space as a Yoga Teacher, a Reiki Master, and a Life Coach.
My Why
“I’ve gravitated towards some of the riskiest and most vulnerable work in the film industry because of my belief that the entertainment industry should undeniably prioritize safety. I believe in creating art responsibly, ensuring the well-being of everyone involved. Working in the Stunt and Intimacy Departments allows me to actively contribute to enforcing safety protocols on set, fostering a secure environment for all. I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the protection and welfare of fellow artists."
