About Me
Tolmie Greaves (she/her) is a certified Intimacy Coordinator in Vancouver, BC, on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, and Musqueam Nations. She has worked as an Intimacy Coordinator on a variety of commercials, shorts, and Tv series, including ABC’s The Good Doctor, Warner bros’ Kung Fu, Paramount’s Spiderwick Chronicles, HBO’s Dead Boy detectives, Showtime’s Emmy nominated series, Yellowjackets and the upcoming mini series Under the Bridge.
She’s had the privilege of working with Experimental Forest films, an award winning production company committed to socially relevant, nuanced storytelling that celebrates creative risk and cinematic vision, on independent features Seagrass, and Inedia.
Committed to decolonization, intersectional feminism, and LGBTQIA2S+ rights, Tolmie volunteers for the Vancouver Queer Film Festival and GEMS Vancouver (Gender Equity in Media). Passionate about promoting gender and sexual diversity in film, she is also educated in navigating kink and BDSM scene work and supporting trans and non-binary performers.
Tolmie’s creative writing is published in Undressed Literary Society and untethered literary magazine and she is now a reader for this publication. In fall 2020, her feminist short, In Sickness, was chosen by Experimental Forest Films as one of six screenplays for “Writing Is Re-writing.”
Tolmie specializes in creating inclusive and non-intimidating environments that facilitate communication. She has a certificate in American Sign Language and Deaf Studies from Vancouver Community College and, as a speaker of intermediate Spanish, she has previous experience facilitating arts-related youth programming in Mexico.
An enthusiastic advocate for actors, Tolmie relishes empowering them by cultivating the safety that makes their creativity and confidence thrive. She strives to build brave and open spaces for cast, crew, and production to collaborate in an empowered and informed practice.
Tolmie gained her certification through Intimacy Directors and Coordinators (IDC), a SAG-AFTRA accredited certification program in New York. Her teachers and mentors are industry pioneers: Alicia Rodis (HBO’s lead IC; The Deuce, Insecure, High Maintenance, Scenes from a Marriage) and Claire Warden (Mrs. Fletcher, Gossip Girl, Three Women).
In addition to certification with IDC, Tolmie, in her commitment to combating forms of discrimination such as racism, ableism, and sexism, continuously updates her training with a focus on anti-racism, mediation, anti-harassment, allyship and advocacy, trauma stewardship, and mental health first aid.
She is in the process of gaining certification as a Mental Health Coordinator for creative spaces through the Association of Mental Health Coordinators.
