In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising in New York, the new docu-series Pride – The LGBTQ+ History Series follows award-winning filmmakers Mark Kenneth Woods and Michael Yerxa as they travel to different Pride celebrations around the globe to learn about LGBTQ+ history and how it can inform our communities going forward.
Over six episodes, the series will travel to various pride celebrations in New York City, Salt Lake City, Hong Kong, Palm Springs, Calgary and Berlin.
Perhaps best known as the ‘outspoken’ original cast member on Logo TV and MTV Canada’s 1 Girl 5 Gays, producer/director Michael Yerxa has worked behind the scenes as a producer on some of Canada’s most successful factual television shows including The Amazing Race Canada, Canada’s Smartest Person and Still Standing.
Executive producer/director Mark Kenneth Woods is a multi-award winning filmmaker whose work has been screened in over 400 festivals and galleries around the world. A familiar face on Canada’s OUTtv Network, Woods is known as the creator and star of various TV series (The Face of Furry Creek, The House of Venus Show) and the popular LGBTQ commercial for Starbucks “Coffee Frenemies” starring Bianca Del Rio and Adore Delano.
Pride will debut on television on OUTtv Network and streaming via OUTtvGo in Spring 2019.
