Development

Yosemite was adapted and expanded from "Yosemite" and "Peter Parker", two short stories written by James Franco. James Franco then used his Rabbit Bandini company to produce the film.
The film was shot in various locations in Yosemite National Park. The director had chosen the locations, but many of them ended up being a lot of the places that Franco and his father had visited when he was a child.
