 In 2002, Yeager co-founded, along with Lane Keller, the Young Filmmakers Workshop (YFW), an organization designed to provide young people between the ages of 10–17 an opportunity to realize their dreams of becoming filmmakers, actors, and artisans through the creation of both narrative and documentary motion pictures.The resulting works are ultimately screened at a local art deco movie palace in an event that includes a red carpet premiere and awards.In September, 2006 Yeager directed "Suzanne Shepherd - A Gift of Fire", a documentary film about acclaimed New York City actor, director, and teacher Suzanne Shepherd, whose notable and varied roles include Tony Soprano's mother-in-law on the series "The Sopranos", as well as featured appearances in "Goodfellas", "Lolita", "Uncle Buck", "Living Out Loud", and John Waters' "A Dirty Shame".
