Michael Yerxa

Michael Yerxa is a Canadian documentary filmmaker. He is most noted for his collaborations with Mark Kenneth Woods, including the films Take Up the Torch (2015) and Two Soft Things, Two Hard Things (2016),[1] and the television series Pride.[2]

Originally from Hampton, New Brunswick, he attended Kennebecasis Valley High School.[3] Active in the theatre program, he won a student theatre award from Theatre New Brunswick in 2000 for his play Small Actors.[4] He then studied theatre at Queen's University, appearing in theatre productions including The Music Man[5] and City of Angels,[6] before moving to Toronto, where he became known as one of the regular panelists on 1 Girl 5 Gays.[3]

In addition to his filmmaking, Yerxa has also worked in casting,[7] including credits on the film Porcupine Lake and the television series The Amazing Race Canada, Splatalot! and The Adventures of Napkin Man. He received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Casting in a Television Series at the 8th Canadian Screen Awards in 2020 for his work on The Amazing Race Canada, the first time in the history of the awards that a reality show was nominated in that category.[8]

He was a story producer on the 2020 series Canada's Drag Race.[9]
