Pony Highway is the husband-and-wife team of Bill Yahraus and Robin Rosenthal. We’ve been immersing ourselves in communities we’re curious about since we ran away with the Tarzan Zerbini Circus in 1996. Our award-winning documentaries have aired nationally on PBS and toured internationally.
Bill’s adventurous career began with an experimental film in Andy Warhol’s Factory. Arriving in San Francisco during the Summer of Love, he landed in KQED’s documentary unit. While making social issue films collectively in the Bay Area he was lured to Los Angeles by Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden to edit their anti-war film Introduction to the Enemy. A detour into features followed, editing for indy luminaries like Richard Pearce and Sam Shepard.
Robin came to filmmaking from the visual arts, teaching and exhibiting in San Antonio and the Southwest before relocating to Los Angeles to work in film and television post production. Sensing an affinity between her producing skills for Pony Highway and the field of public practice art, she founded and directs the creative place-keeping project Real93543 in the rural Southeast Antelope Valley she and Bill call home.
