Larry Yust's most significant contribution to educational film was through a finely crafted, intriguing, and intellectually stimulating series of dramatic films made for Encyclopaedia Britannica from roughly 1965-1975. Yust's 'Short Story Showcase' films are one of the great serial dramatic bodies of work of the 1965-1985 era of educational film. In addition to his film work, Yust is an accomplished photographer, as evidenced by his book Salvation Mountain: The Art of Leonard Knight (1998).
