A few days ago I posted a linked to the trailer for Shevenge a brand-new short film directed by Amber. 

Amber recently wrote a post on her official Tumblr page and then wrote this to share the latest news about Shevenge including two very exciting upcoming screenings.

Rather than me tell you about it this time I thought I'd let Amber tell you in own words.

Amber Is Supporting An Online Charity Auction By Doodling

One of the things I try to do is write a title for my updates on the latest news section the grabs people's attention and interest. I hope I've succeeded here because it's in aid of a very worthy cause.

This week online auction website eBay are hosting a charity auction in aid of Neurofibromatosis Network and Amber is one of a number of celebrities who are supporting it by auctioning their doodles intrigued? Keep reading I will explain all but first I thought I'd give you some information about Neurofibromatosis Network.

Neurofibromatosis Network is a charity based in the USA with the aim of supporting people who have Neurofibromatosis and their families as just one of its many aims. I confess I hadn't heard the of Neurofibromatosis before so rather then try to describe it the following is from the Neurofibromatosis Network website:

“Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a genetic disorder of the nervous system which causes tumors to form on the nerves anywhere in the body at any time. This progressive disorder affects all races, all ethnic groups and both sexes equally.”

Neurofibromatosis Network has come up with an unusual way of raising funds by asking a number of celebrities to draw and then auction their own one-of-a-kind hand drawn doodles.

Amber has supported a number of good causes down the years and has drawn two doodles which are included in the auction alongside contributions from:

X-Files creator Chris Carter, Gillian Anderson, country music star Brad Paisley, Martin Sheen, Patrick Stewart, William Shatner and Amber's former Buffy co-star Seth Green. These are just some of the people involved sorry I didn't have space to list every single person but I am going to include a link to all of the auction lots of the end of this post.

The two separate auction lots from Amber end at slightly different times but both have more than 6 days left to run.

Here is the link for doodle number one

doodle number two

So if you would like to help out a good cause and have an original Amber Benson doodle hanging on your wall why not get involved and spread the word too.

As promised click here for a link to all of the available auction lots from everyone involved and to find out more about Neurofibromatosis Network click here to visit their official website.

Good luck and happy bidding

Joe

Shevenge Official Trailer Released

5/1/2015

The first official trailer of Shevenge a brand-new short film directed by Amber Benson has now been released following a successful crowdfunding campaign.

If you are hearing the name Shevenge for the first time don't worry I'll get you up to speed. In 2014 Amber announced that she was to direct a brand-new short film titled Shevenge.

The film centers on three friends Sam (Emme Rylan), Charley (Jessica Courtemanche) and Taylor (Megan Lee Joy) who are having a slumber party and they begin plotting revenge on their ex-boyfriends. We then join them on a journey into the darkest part of their imagination as they take Shevenge on each one of them. This dark comedy pays homage to favourite film genres including horror, fantasy and action.

Shevenge was co created by Jessica Courtemanche and Megan Lee Joy and with Amber directing this original comedy it promises to be one not to miss. The Shevenge team launched a campaign on popular crowdfunding site Indiegogo.com with the aim of raising $10,000 to complete postproduction to a high standard.

In return for supporting the campaign there were a range of perks on offer including posters, a DVD of the completed film, signed cast photos and much more. When the campaign was brought to a close on 29 January 2015 it smashed through its initial target of raising $15,195 meaning postproduction could be completed.

The Shevenge team plan to enter the film in a number of film festivals as well as organising other screenings across the US in the coming months. The best way to the keep up-to-date with upcoming screenings is to visit the official website Shevenge.com.

In the director’s statement on the official website Amber explains what attracted her to the project:


“The reasons I was drawn to direct Shevenge are manifold. I thought the script was well written and super funny, I loved that the majority of the people involved in the film were women––and, lastly, having primarily directed comedies, I was itching to try my hand at an action/horror-themed project.


I am a fan of horror films and action movies––but it drives me up the wall that so few female directors have been able to really crack those genres. Directing Shevenge was like throwing the gauntlet down and forcing myself to take a risk. To try something I’d never done before and, succeed or fail, to challenge myself to grow as a woman and as a filmmaker”.

Here is the official Shevenge trailer enjoy and of course AmberBenson.TV will do our best to keep you up-to-date with all the latest news involving this exciting film.
