Amber Is No Longer Able To Attend Wales Comic Con: Telford Takeover

11/1/2019

There was some sad news for UK Amber Benson fans this afternoon as Wales Comic Con: Telford Takeover confirmed that due to new work commitments Amber is now unable to attend the event in December. Wales Comic Con have confirmed that anyone who has purchased photo opportunities with Amber will be automatically refunded.

Below is the statement published on Wales Comic Con: Telford Takeover official Facebook and Twitter accounts, for convenience I have taken a photograph for informational purposes. You can also click the hyperlinks to see the original posts.

I'm attending the event and naturally I'm really disappointed not to be able to meet Amber next month. However as a fan I want to wish Amber every success with her new work and I look forward to finding out more about this in the future, I also hope she returns to the UK soon.

Amber Is Set To Be A Guest At The Vampire Ball - London 2020

10/30/2019

Here is some exciting news for UK based fans as Amber is the very first guest announced for the 11th Vampire Ball Convention in November 2020.

Star Fury Convention’s The Vampire Ball is a three-day event celebrating Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly and Dollhouse. Amber will be joined by Dollhouse star Miracle Laurie with more guests to be announced in the coming months. The convention will include autograph sessions, photo opportunities, guest talks, themed party nights and more.

The Vampire Ball will be held between the 13th -15th of November 2020 at The Renaissance Hotel, Heathrow, London. It's unusual for me to post information about an event which is over a year away. However, I know from experience that it is an excellent event but much smaller than larger scale conventions. Tickets are on sale now and I wanted to let fellow fans know early so they didn't miss out.

According to the event website there will be discounted room rates available for those attending the convention via a link on their website. However the hotel isn't available to book yet but I will be keeping a close eye on developments. I will post a further update to let fans know when they can book a room if they want to.

For tickets and more information about The Vampire Ball click the link below to visit their official website.

It's exciting that Amber will be meeting UK fans again next year and I will post a further update when I have additional information about the event.

A few days ago Amber was a guest at the Fandemic Houston 2019 Convention and she was joined by fellow Buffy actors:

Clare Kramer
Emma Caulfield
James Leary
James Marsters
Juliet Landau

On the 19th of October they all took part in a Buffy the Vampire Slayer panel held at the convention and answered questions from fans. Luckily for fans like myself who couldn't be there in person website FandomSpotlite.com were allowed to record the panel and they have since shared it on their official website and their YouTube channel.

There were questions from fans both about their time on Buffy and a mixture of serious and fun questions were put to the panel. I have embedded the video below so you can see what Amber and co had to say.

Please note there are a couple of uses of strong language in the video so discretion is advised.

Click here to view a video directly from the FandomSpotlite.com website.

I want to share the video here so fans of Amber and Buffy could enjoy it. I hope FandomSpotlite.com don't mind.

Glossary Of Broken Dreams Starring Amber Benson Is Now Available In The UK Via Amazon Instant Video

8/12/2019

As I was preparing my previous update about the UK release of The Nightmare Gallery I discovered that Glossary of Broken Dreams also starring Amber is now available in the UK.

Last year Amber posted on her official social media accounts that she was starring in Glossary Of Broken Dreams. Well actually Amber in typically modest fashion describes it as "I helped out on the film Glossary of Broken Dreams"

Created by filmmaker Johannes Grenzfurthner Glossary of Broken Dreams employs a mixture of live-action sequences, animation and stock footage. He examines key political concepts, discourses and as narrator he re-evaluates them during the course of the film.

Amber plays the role of Pfefferkarree McCormick, at the time I wasn't able to find out much information about the character Amber plays. I don’t know whether we’ll see Amber in a live action sequence or if she is lending her vocal talents to an animated section of the film. I haven't had a chance to watch the film yet so if anyone has more information on the character Amber plays please feel free to leave a comment on this post or through email or social media via the buttons at the top of AmberBenson.TV homepage. I always enjoy hearing from fellow fans.

Glossary of Broken Dreams is now available via Amazon instant video platform in the UK. It is available to rent and buy to download or stream via desktop, laptop, smartphone, tablet, smart TV and more. If you're an Amazon Prime Member the film is available for free as part of your membership package. To find out more and view click the link below to watch the trailer and see your viewing options.

I'm looking forward to watching Glossary of Broken Dreams for the first time, its great to see another film starring Amber available in the UK.

The Nightmare Gallery Is Now Available To Buy In The UK Via Amazon Instant Video

8/12/2019

Thrilling news for Amber Benson fans as The Nightmare Gallery has been released in the UK. The news was announced via The Nightmare Gallery official Twitter account. Seraph Films and AWOL Studios brought The Nightmare Gallery to our screens with support from fans via the crowd funding site Kickstarter. They have confirmed that thanks to help from film distributors Cinema Epoch the movie is now available on the Amazon Instant Video platform in the UK.

Ever since 2017 when Amber announced she would be playing the role of Professor Samantha Rand in The Nightmare Gallery fans have eagerly awaited the finished movie.

It tells the story of an anthropology lecturer who is shocked by the sudden disappearance of her star student. Three years later Samantha receives a mysterious package containing mystical artifacts that may hold the key to discovering the truth behind her pupil's disappearance. Samantha embarks on a journey that could prove to be her undoing as her life begins to unravel. She risks losing her wife Dawn (Mieko Hillman) and her identity. Can she discover the truth in time to save not only herself but the world too?

I've embedded the latest trailer for The Nightmare Gallery below and as you have seen there is a new poster for the movie as well.

In recent times Amber has focused on writing and directing. The Nightmare Gallery gives Amber the opportunity not only to showcase her talent as an actor but also to play the lead role. Amber gives a fantastic performance as Professor Samantha Rand as she delves into a dark mystery.

The Nightmare Gallery is available to rent and buy, to download or stream via desktop, laptop, smartphone, tablet, smart TV and more. If you're an Amazon Prime Member the movie is available for free as part of your membership package. To find out more and view click the link below to see all your viewing options.

The film also examines new ideas for a better and more inclusive approach to showing these characters on screen.

As I'm sure most fans will know Amber played the role of Tara Maclay on the hit TV show Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Tara and Willow played by Alyson Hannigan were the first long-term openly gay couple on US network television. Amber and Alyson have both spoken of the importance of their character’s on screen relationship and their pride at being able to be part of it. The role of Tara had a huge impact on Amber's life and she continues to be a huge supporter of the LGBTQ community.

Joining Amber on the panel are Isabella Gomez (One Day at a Time), Angelica Ross (Pose), Marja-Lewis Ryan (The L Word: Generation Q) schedules permitting. Moderated by Tracy E. Gilchrist, Feminism Editor of The Advocate.

The panel is taking place at 4:30 PM on Saturday, 20thof July at TCL Chinese 6 Theatres on Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood California. To find out more about the venue click here.
