The reason I chose this title is because early on in filming, MRAs were telling me that feminist ideology was ‘blue pill’ and that they took the ‘red pill’, so while I was struggling to see and understand the opposing viewpoints, I used this terminology to compartmentalize the ideologies. In her reddit AMA in 2015, she explained, “One of the very first articles I read on A Voice For Men was by Paul Elam called something like ‘red pills, blue skies, and tits.’ AVFM also had the phrase, ‘take the red pill’ as part of their logo at the time. When Cassie began this project in March 2013, the MRM/MHRM was often using the term ‘the red pill’ when describing their moment of realization or enlightenment about gender politics.

The title, The Red Pill, does not refer to the Red Pill subreddit, it refers to the cultural metaphor for “seeing the painful truth of reality” (which originated from the movie The Matrix).The only way for Cassie to raise the funding she needed to complete The Red Pill while remaining entire ownership over the film was by raising funds on Kickstarter, and that’s what she did. Kickstarter prohibits funders (aka “backers”) from having any ownership or control over the Kickstarter campaigns they contribute to. After 2 years of production, Cassie needed more funding for post-production and turned to a crowd-funding website called Kickstarter. Cassie Jaye self-funded the film and also borrowed money from her boyfriend and mother. Cassie did not answer to anyone The Red Pill is entirely her vision and depicts her own journey making this film. There is only one person who has had complete and absolute control over The Red Pill’s story, message, and execution, and it is Cassie Jaye.Cassie still believes in protecting and advocating for women’s rights and empowering women and girls, as well as protecting and advocating for all human rights. Cassie identified as a feminist for 10 years before dropping the label “feminist” after making The Red Pill.Cassie is a filmmaker who has directed films about sexual education, reproductive rights, same-sex marriage rights, female engineers, single motherhood, autism, blindness, HIV/AIDS in Africa, poverty and hunger, and most recently this film about the Men’s Rights Movement, a topic that has never been explored in a film before. Cassie is not currently and never has been an MRA (Men’s Rights Activist).There are agenda-driven bloggers and journalists who are doing their best to discredit The Red Pill and smear Cassie Jaye’s name.
