“Viva La Verde” is an independent documentary film seven years in the making. It explores the past, present and future of Arizona rivers, using the foremost surviving perennial river in Arizona, the Verde River, as a case study. The film combines wildlife photos and video with educational animated sequences, interviews and an original soundtrack. It is 47 minutes long.
This film imparts a message of stewardship for wildlife, rivers and water resources and offers clear, solution-driven opportunities for residents to get involved and help to preserve and restore our rivers.
Cinematographer, producer, editor and director Hugh Denno began his film career in 2006 while exploring the depths of the Amazon as a volunteer.
Over 10 years of professional experience as a naturalist, experiential educator and wilderness guide has prepared him to be a great storyteller. He said, “Traveling and working in the wilderness teaches us how to accomplish monumental goals with minimal resources.”
Denno holds a B.A. in conservation biology and adventure education from Prescott College. After college, he created an independent film production company to serve the growing number of environmental and social justice groups around the globe. He continues to travel and make films.
