Gary Yates was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec. His first short film, entitled Made For TV, was a surprise hit at the Berlin Film Festival where it was described as "An erotically charged, gross-out S&M vehicle of undeniable zest and wit." The film was written, produced, directed, photographed and edited by Yates, and went on to screen at festivals worldwide.
