Outriders - The Filmmakers


		Broadcast Schedule

OUTRIDERS was directed and produced by veteran documentary filmmakers Pamela Yates and Peter Kinoy. It is the third film in their trilogy LIVING BROKE IN BOOM TIMES. Throughout the booming decade of the 1990s, Yates and Kinoy turned their cameras on Americans who were left out of the great economic expansion.

In 1991 they produced TAKEOVER, the story of the first national housing takeover when homeless people in eight cities across the country seized empty federal (HUD) housing in a coordinated action. An official selection of the Sundance Film Festival, TAKEOVER was broadcast on PBS on the P.O.V. series.

In 1997 Kinoy and Yates released POVERTY OUTLAW, a story of one woman who becomes an "outlaw" due to the hard choices posed by living in poverty. POVERTY OUTLAW was an official selection of the Sundance Film Festival. It aired on PBS stations as part of the series Just Solutions: Campaigning for Human Rights.

The independent films of Pamela Yates (producer/director) include the 1984 Academy Award-winning WITNESS TO WAR and WHEN THE MOUNTAINS TREMBLE (Special Jury Award, Sundance Film Festival). She also directed the first music video made in China, which was named by Rolling Stone as one of the ten best videos of 1989. Her most recent film was BROTHERHOOD OF HATE (1999) about white supremacy.

Yates was the originating producer of the Northern Ireland saga SOME MOTHER'S SON, starring Helen Mirren. She was a producer on Michael Moore's TV Nation, which won a 1995 Emmy. A pioneer in the use of mini-DV (digital) format for vérité television documentary series like Trauma: Life in the ER, Yates won an Emmy for her 1998 program "Loss of Innocence."

Peter Kinoy (Producer/Editor) has worked for 25 years in the New York media industry as a producer and editor. He produced and edited WHEN THE MOUNTAINS TREMBLE (Special Jury Award, Sundance Film Festival). With Pamela Yates, Kinoy co-produced and edited TAKEOVER and POVERTY OUTLAW. In 1999 he collaborated with Yates on the New York Times and Showtime co-production BROTHERHOOD OF HATE.

Kinoy also edits a full range of commercial productions. His editing credits frequently appear on Nova, PBS documentary specials and BBC productions. He was an editor for Michael Moore's TV Nation and the highly rated series Trauma: Life in the ER for the Learning Channel.
