NTA obviously. But I want to add — the 'it's just a kiss' mentality is EXACTLY why ICs exist. It's never 'just' anything when you're doing it with a stranger in front of a crew.
Hard NTA. And the director's reaction — getting defensive instead of problem-solving — tells you everything about how they'd handle a real safety issue on set.
NTA. Also: ask about IC during the booking stage, not on set day. If they react badly before you're even there, you saved yourself a bad experience. I now add it to my standard pre-booking questions.
NTA. The other actors thinking you were 'dramatic' is part of the problem. We've normalized not having ICs on non-union sets and it needs to stop.
