In addition to her work producing trailers, TV spots and behind the scenes featurettes, she has produced and directed a number of short documentary and narrative films. Caddie will be joined in direction by Ben Kopke. Ben is the Creative Director at Mixed Media Workshop, an award winning and Webby-nominated digital studio.

Caddie and Ben co-directed the short film REUNION, starring Juan Riedinger (Narcos, Riverdale) and Agam Darshi (Donkeyhead, DMZ, Funny Boy, Sanctuary). REUNION closed its festival run at the first ever Festival Sayulita in Mexico.
