From Nanette Braun, UNIFEM (United Nations Development Fund for Women)
On a tight deadline, we needed a short film that was informative and inspirational. Carol delivered on all accounts. The video has since been used to "set the stage" for UNIFEM on numerous occasions worldwide. Her professional and cooperative manner has made it a real pleasure to work with her.
From Mary Atkins, NOW (National Organization for Women)
This is the kind of work that NOW takes great pride in seeing women direct and produce. Thank you for producing these important films.
From Eleanor Smeal, President, Feminist Majority Foundation

From Susan Walsh, Executive Director, Center for Independent Documentary
Besides her significant skill as an artist, Carol Cassidy is also highly organized as a producer, writer and editor.
We use Carol’s work as a catalyst for discussion about deeply felt issues for girls. Over and over people told me how much they treasure Carol’s films, in which girls themselves speak so eloquently.
