Cassie Jaye

Cassie Jaye (born May 1, 1986) is an American film director, best known for directing the 2016 documentary film The Red Pill about the men's rights movement.

Jaye was born in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, to Nena Jaye. When she was aged 6, her parents divorced. When she was 14, Jaye moved to Las Vegas, where she attended Palo Verde High School.

At age 18, she moved to Los Angeles, where she was an actress for five years before moving to Marin County, California in 2008. Jaye disliked the stereotypical roles she was cast in, which she described as "cute girl-next-door who always died in horror films." Along with several incidents of sexual harassment, this led her to embrace feminism.

After leaving the acting field, Jaye stayed in films, but as a documentary producer, director, and editor. She formed Jaye Bird Productions, a film production company, in 2008. Her mother is her production partner.

Jaye directed and produced the 2010 American documentary film Daddy I Do which examines sex education and sexual abstinence programs in the United States. Daddy I Do includes interviews with the founder of the Silver Ring Thing Denny Pattyn, feminist writer Amanda Marcotte, and Douglas Kirby. The film discusses personal stories from women facing teenage pregnancy, single motherhood, abortion and sexual assault. Bust magazine praised "Jaye for exposing the truth about abstinence-only programs, the stories of teenagers who buy into it, and its consequences".

In December 2018, Jaye published Daddy I Do on her channel on YouTube.

Jaye directed and produced her second feature documentary film The Right to Love: An American Family in 2012. The film chronicles a family known as "Gay Family Values" on YouTube in the aftermath of 2008 California Proposition 8.

The film premiered in February 2012 at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco with guest speaker Zach Wahls. The film was screened at the Frameline Film Festival.
