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 directed and produced the 2016 American documentary film The Red Pill about the men's rights movement. Jaye spent a year interviewing men's rights figures, such as Paul Elam, founder of A Voice for Men; Harry Crouch, president of the National Coalition for Men; Warren Farrell, author of The Myth of Male Power;[18] and Erin Pizzey, who started the first domestic violence shelter in the modern world.[19] She also interviewed critics of the movement, such as Ms. magazine executive editor Katherine Spillar,[18][20] and sociologist Michael Kimmel.[21] Jaye initially relied on her own money to fund the film, as well that from her mother and her boyfriend,[21] as she found difficulty finding backers from traditional sources after it became known that the film would take a "balanced approach"[22] view of the men's rights movement.[23][19] In what she called a "last resort", she started a campaign on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.[23] The Kickstarter project promised to be a fair and balanced look at the men's rights movement.[23] Her effort was strongly criticized by some feminists[24] including David Futrelle, who runs a website called We Hunted the Mammoth and who said it looked like propaganda.[25] She received support from Breitbart News columnist Milo Yiannopoulos.[26][27][28]
