From the Director
One of the biggest obstacles in my life’s work as a filmmaker and social justice advocate is to present a dialog about masculinity in a way that moves beyond limiting and superficial knee-jerk reactions from men who feel that their identity is called into question.
Too many men, in my view, are imprisoned by the yoke of unyielding and unexamined masculinity; a notion that begets violence, bigotry, anger, and a ready willingness to ‘shout down’ anyone who disagrees with their brand of groupthink. Sometimes being an HSP is AWKWARD and helping the world to heal from its collective pain and dysfunction is marching to a different drummer, yet it is one that I truly believe is needed to allow EVERYONE an equal playing field, so now what?
My goal is to become an advocate for educating the public with what I have learned from embracing my Highly Sensitive gift. I have already done that with three films, beginning with Sensitive, the Untold Story and there will be more to come.
I am a highly sensitive person. I am a highly sensitive person of color. I am proud to be who I am and what I am, and I am looking forward because the future is now. Hopefully, we can one day say these words, “Free at Last, Free at Last, thank God almighty we’re free at last.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. August 28, 1963.
