Madera County and the Southern Yosemite area
offers a wide variety of locations for filming. Small midwestern
looking towns, farms, cattle ranches, graveyards, quarries and
industrial sites are located throughout the region. And, of
course, there's Yosemite National Park. Wide expanses of rolling
pastures and oak trees depict the foothills while the forests,
lakes, waterfalls and streams all reveal the majestic beauty of
the High Sierra.
The area boasts a lodging base of
approximately 4200 rooms with more than 60 restaurants and an
abundance of interesting site locations, with easy air access
through Fresno Yosemite International Airport. Local talent and
support is readily available.
A variety of filming projects, dating
back to the 30's have been filmed in the area. The benchmark film featuring Bass
Lake and The Pines Resort, "The Great Outdoors" was filmed here in
1988.
