“Amache Rose,” directed by Billy Kanaly is the first film produced by the new film department of Denver Botanic Gardens (DBG), Denver Botanic Films. It has been featured at film festivals across the country, including the Denver Film Festival. Billy Kanaly is heading up Denver Botanic Gardens Films and its mission to connect people to plants through film. A former performer for the Irish Dance Troupe Riverdance, Kanaly brings a range of creative perspectives to his role. He is committed to telling the abundance of unique stories that plants have to tell, not only how they grow but who grows them and why. The film “Amache Rose” is the unique story underlying the important connections between people and plants, how nature illuminates the human experience, and how humans rely on plants and nature to make sense of and complete their world.
