Quiet videos

A film for the guardian about videos of soothing sounds that generate a sensation known as ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response). Fans enjoy the relaxing effects of these ‘head orgasms’. Here, the makers of ASMR YouTube channels including WhisperAudios, WhispersRed and ASMRAngel explain the appeal of sounds such as gum-chewing, hair-brushing and beard-rubbing. Official Selection: London Short Film Festival 2016 and Docudays Festival 2016.
