Shevenge Directed By Amber Benson Is Now Available Via Amazon Video In The UK

9/24/2020

Exciting news for UK fans as Shevenge (a short film) directed by Amber Benson is now available in the UK via Amazon Video platform. Released in 2015 Shevenge was completed with the help of fans and film enthusiasts, myself included who backed an Indiegogo.com crowd funding campaign to raise funds to complete postproduction.

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.

Following a number of successful screenings in the USA the Shevenge team took it to London for it’s UK debut at the Film4 Fright Fest Film Festival in August 2015. Now Shevenge is available in the UK to own digitally via Amazon Video platform.

Shevenge is being released as part of the second season of Etheria horror anthology celebrating the work of female directors and other roles both in front of and behind the camera. Shevenge is among 10 short films set in the horror or sci-fi genres. Fans can either purchase the whole of Season 2 for £5.99 or alternatively you can buy Shevenge and/or the other short films separately for just 99p each. (prices correct on the date this post was published)

Amazon Video is available online via computer, smart devices, games consoles and smart TVs. For full details and to purchase Etheria Season 2 or Shevenge individually click the link below:

Good news for Amber fans across the pond Etheria Season 2/Shevenge is also available to purchase via the US version of Amazon Video platform. For full details and/or to buy click the link below:

I'm thrilled that Shevenge is part of Etheria Season 2, congratulations to Amber, Emme, Jessica, Megan and all of the cast and crew. It's fantastic that Shevenge is now available to an even bigger audience both here in the UK and in the USA and I can't wait to watch it again.

Amber Benson To Narrate Attack Surface Audiobook

9/11/2020

0 Comments

In recent years Amber has used her acting talents to narrate a number of audiobooks in a range of different genres. From sci-fi, romance and mystery and more for a number of top authors, not to mention narrating her own work. The Witches of Echo Park and the first three books in her Calliope Reaper-Jones series, Death’s Daughter, Cat’s Claw and Serpent’s Storm. Unfortunately the Calliope Reaper-Jones audiobooks are only available to listeners in the USA. Amber uses her vocal ability to bring the words off the page and add another dimension to some incredible stories.

A few weeks ago, I learned that Amber was set to narrate Attack Surface, the third novel in author Cory Doctorow’s Little Brother Series. I shared that early information on Amber Benson.TV twitter feed. This is the second time Amber has worked with Cory, she was among the voice talent that worked on his Walk Away audiobook in 2017. Cory said he had an exciting plans for fans to pre-order the Attack Surface audiobook. Late on Wednesday evening I learnt that Cory had put his plan into action and launched a Kickstarter campaign, but I'll come back to that later. Here’s a bit more about the Attack Surface book itself.

Masha Maximow is a cyber security specialist working for a global company making a very good living helping nations monitor activists and dissidents. She is conflicted about her work and occasionally uses her skills to help activists go undetected without letting her bosses know of course. Masha may soon have to decide where her loyalties lie once and for all. Attack surface is a stand-alone novel set within the Little Brother Series.

This is a Kickstarter campaign with a difference, in that Attack Surface audiobook has already been recorded. The aim of the campaign is as I said earlier to allow fans to pre-order it but also to highlight the current copyright arrangements surrounding the majority of audiobooks. Cory can explain this issue much better than I can so rather than try and paraphrase his words click on the link to the Kickstarter page which I will provide below to find out more.

The complete Attack Surface audiobook narrated by Amber can be yours for just $15 on digital files that you can keep and listen to forever. There are lots of other perks as well including e-books of Little Brother, Homeland and Attack Surface as well as their audiobook versions too. Little Brother is narrated by Kirby Heyborne and Homeland by Wil Wheaton as well as Attack Surface and much more too.

To find out more about the Kickstarter campaign including a free sample where you can listen to the first chapter of Attack Surface that’s 2 hours and 44 minutes, simply scroll down the page and click the link.

I'm really looking forward to listening to Amber narrate this exciting audiobook project.
