Saffron Cassaday is an award-winning filmmaker whose work explores human stories with heart and humour. Her films often examine aging, health, caregiving, and intergenerational relationships. She has written, directed, produced, and edited three feature-length documentaries that have been licensed and broadcast by Netflix, PBS, Hulu, CBC Doc Channel, and dozens of international platforms. Her debut film, Cyber-Seniors (2014), sparked a nonprofit that pairs teenagers with seniors for technology training.​

Saffron has also produced four seasons of digital content supported by the TELUS Fund’s Stories for Caregivers initiative, including Sam, Dev & Ange, a comedic narrative series about a single father caring for both his teenage son and aging mother, and After Caregiving, a documentary series spotlighting the lives of former caregivers across Canada.

She is currently in production on Harmony Gardens, a workplace comedy set in a retirement residence starring Colin Mochrie and Ann Pornel, supported by the Independent Production Fund and the Canada Media Fund, as well as The Choice, a documentary series following individuals and their caregivers as they navigate Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), supported by the TELUS Fund.
