Sensitive Men Rising

The FIRST EVER documentary on
SENSORY PROCESSING SENSITIVITY in MEN

Inspired by the Best-Selling Author Elaine Aron and the Award-Winning Director Will Harper

“On Father’s Day, June 16, 2024, the world will witness the birth of a cinematic gem, celebrating the profound essence of the Highly Sensitive Man. This hallmark endeavor illuminates the evolving face of masculinity, offering a beacon of hope and compassion in our changing times.”
-Will Harper, 2024

The world is experiencing dramatic events before all of our eyes. Now, the Foundation for the Study of Highly Sensitive Persons (HSP) has embarked upon an unprecedented calling. A new documentary film, Sensitive Men Rising (SMR), is turning its lens to the billion men who have largely been hidden in the shadows. Thanks to the breakthrough that we now know as “sensory processing sensitivity” (SPS) —popularly known as “high sensitivity“— we know men can play a pivotal role in changing the face and times of the doldrums of masculinity.

This groundbreaking innate trait — sensory processing sensitivity — is present in 20-30% of the population. It was discovered by international best-selling author and researcher of the Highly Sensitive Person, Elaine Aron, Ph.D..

Dr. Aron made dramatic advancements in public awareness through the pioneering film Sensitive-The Untold Story. Featuring Alanis Morissette, the film furthered our global understanding of highly sensitive people (or HSPs). You! our dedicated followers and supporters are the ones who made it possible for Sensitive-The Untold Story to become a global achievement.

NOW! We invite you to join us on this quest to make this innovative, necessary and life-changing NEW film a reality. The film, Sensitive Men Rising, is a long overdue socially significant film that invites all of us on an emotional, educational, and life-enlightening passage. It asks us ALL to deepen our understanding of sensory processing sensitivity in men, and how it intersects with traditional and modern-day masculinity.

Our responsibility is CLEAR and PRESENT! Let’s MAKE OUR WORLD a better place.
