After a successful production trip to Namibia and Kenya, Milking the Rhino...and Other Tales of Community Conservation is now three-quarters of the way to being "in-the-can." 67 hours of HighDef footage (Panasonic Varicam, 16×) was shot by cameraman Jason Longo, and sound person Rich Pooler. The crew was led by director David E. Simpson and producer Jeannie Magill, who are now preparing to edit a rough cut of this material.
