We want to tell your Yosemite Mariposa County story
We're casting real people for a series about the families, couples, and friends who keep coming back to Yosemite Mariposa County year after year, decade after decade. No actors. Just your story, your connection, and your photos across the years.
We're making a series of short films about the people who keep coming back to Yosemite Mariposa County.
Not actors, not influencers, but real people with a real, years-long relationship with this place. The kind of people who have unforgettable memories, yearly traditions, and a real connection to Yosemite Mariposa County. People who have watched their kids grow up here, or grown old here together, or made the same trip with the same friends for longer than they can remember.
Who we're hoping to find:
Couples: who have been making the trip for decades, whose connection to Yosemite Mariposa County built an even deeper bond.
Families: who started coming when the kids were small and never stopped, the home videos that go from tiny hands on easy trails to teenagers at the summit.
History and culture lovers: the climber who knows every route's story, the gold rush town devotee, the person who's spent years learning what lies beneath the surface.
Friend groups: the running jokes, the traditions you’ve made, the campsite they'd defend with their lives. The stories you will tell your kids one day.
If you have years of visits, a box (or camera roll) full of memories, and one specific moment in one specific place that changed something for you, we want to share your story.
Ready? Tell us your story below. Old photos and video encouraged, they're the heart of this whole thing.
