Yosemite/Madera County Film Commission

Madera County, Yosemite National Park, Sierra National Forest, Ansel Adams Wilderness, Sierra Vista Scenic Byway, Madera farmlands, and beautiful Bass Lake....all amazing places for any type of film production.  Let us help you find the perfect location and navigate smoothly through the permitting process in Madera County and Yosemite National Park.  

Here are a few of the feature films that have used our locations....Bass Lake in The Great Outdoors (1988), Leave Her to Heaven (1945), Mouse Hunt (1997), Mysterious Pilot, The (1937). You may have seen Fish Camp featured in Great American Train Rides 2 (1994), and of course Yosemite National Park has been featured in some 45 or more films, including Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989), The Shining (1980), all the way back to The Dragon Painter, filmed in 1919!

When great films are made in the Sierra mountain area, you can bet the Madera Film Commission played a role in getting the crews here, making them comfortable and providing necessary services.

Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions or assistance.
