In late April, 30 filmmakers from around the world visited MPG as part of the International Wildlife Film Festival. The day began with an overview of MPG, our history, projects, and goals.

The filmmakers then went on a brief tour of the property.

Representatives from Quadrocopter provided a demonstration of the latest in drone camera technology. Filmmakers were able to control the onboard camera while a Quadrocopter representative piloted the drone.

The day concluded with a barbecue at a ranch house. Bart Morris, of Oxbow Cattle Company, provided the burgers and his expertise on the grill.
