Cass Avery

Producer, Cass Avery has worked on everything from documentaries, web series and advertising. In 2016 she produced New Zealand's top-grossing documentary Chasing Great, following rugby legend Richie McCaw's final season. Avery served as writer and executive producer for multi-award-winning mental health web series Jessica's Tree, and later produced follow-up documentary The Girl On The Bridge. In 2023 she was a producer on Hot Potato: The Story of The Wiggles, a feature documentary on the iconic Australian children's music group. She is a longtime executive producer for advertising and production company, Augusto.

She's always struck me as someone who is completely focused and driven, and won't take "no" for an answer. I think that's the reason we bonded so much — we never shy away from ridiculous, hard challenges. Director Michelle Washe on working with Cass Avery, Stuff Website, 2 September 2016
