An Afternoon With Authors Event Featuring Amber Benson Live Stream Cancelled

8/26/2023

Amber Benson is due to participate in an event called An Afternoon With Authors held in Los Angeles today, 26th August.

The event was due to have a Live Stream which would have allowed digital ticket holders from all over the world to be part of the event. Unfortunately just minutes after I posted my original update I received an e-mail from the event organisers to say the Live Stream portion of the event has now been cancelled.

The e-mail I received stated digital tickets had already been refunded and this should be processed in 3-5 days. The organisers have apologised for what they describe as a “last minute change of plans.”

An Afternoon With Authors Event will still go ahead for those who have in person tickets in Los Angeles.

In case you missed my original post and live in Los Angeles here is some more information about the event.

Amber will be joined by fellow writers and actors:

Max Greenfield
Dana Schwartz
Jordan Morris

The panel is scheduled to last for 90 minutes and Amber and Co will discuss their work as both writers and actors, their creative processes and the strikes which are currently affecting writers and actors across the United States. "An Afternoon With Authors" is being supported by Orphan Books and the net proceeds are also being donated to the Entertainment Community Fund. Founded in 1882 with the aim of supporting actors and others working within the entertainment industry.

An Afternoon With Authors is being held at Dynasty Typewriter Theatre which is located at 2511 Wiltshire Blvd 900 57 Los Angeles California. With a start time of 4 PM PDT.

At the time of publication there are still tickets available for those who want to attend in person. All tickets are marked as general admission but there are some at higher price points for those who would like to donate more to the Entertainment Community Fund.

Amber Benson’s Virtual Streamily Signing Session Continued

7/13/2023

Last Sunday the 9th of July Amber held a virtual autograph signing session via On-line platform Streamily. Unfortunately, some autographs could not be signed on the day. These were for fans who had selected the priority option or VIP package, (more details on these below).

Not wanting to disappoint fans Amber has kindly agreed to hold another session to sign the outstanding autographs. Amber has also kept her Streamily store open to allow anyone else the opportunity to get their very own autograph. Last Sunday the session was streamed live on both Amber’s (@rebma_nosneb) and Clare’s (clarekramerofficial) Instagram accounts.

On their website Steamily has stated the signing session will take place on Sunday 16th July at 8pm UK time, which is 12pm PDT in the USA. This time has not been confirmed by Amber herself yet. I wanted to post the information now to give fans more time to order autographs if they wish and I will update the article as soon as the date is confirmed.

Amber’s friend and fellow Buffy the Vampire Slayer co-star Clare Kramer hosted the session on Sunday with Amber and she indicated that she would again host this second session.

The Streamily online platform gives fans the opportunity to buy a photo which Amber will then sign whilst on a live stream so fans can tune in and watch. The team at Streamily will then post your autograph to you. They will send items internationally as well, so you have the opportunity to get a personalised Amber autograph and you can watch the signing session wherever you are.

It’s important to note however that Streamily do state that not all items are guaranteed to be signed live on camera. However, there is a Priority Signing option and a VIP membership package that can be purchased to ensure your item is signed on the live stream.

Earlier this month Amber posted via her official Twitter account to say that she was "excited to be part of this event". She also announced that a portion of the proceeds would be donated to the Los Angeles LGBT Center, to find out more about their work click here.

Slay The Vampires 5 Convention Which Amber is Attending Now Being Held In November

6/25/2023

Earlier this year I posted that it had been revealed Amber is set to be a guest at Slay The Vampires 5 Convention in Paris. The Convention was due to take place between the 14th and 15th of October 2023. Recently however it has been announced that the date of the Convention has been moved. It will now take place later in the year.

If you follow our dedicated Facebook page and Twitter feed, you may have seen that I shared a post from convention organisers Clouds Con announcing that Amber was to be their fourth guest for this Buffy the Vampire Slayer themed convention.

Joining Amber at Slay The Vampires 5 are her fellow Buffy co-stars:

Emma Caulfield
Juliet Landau
Clare Kramer
Marc Blucas (now also announced)

Slay The Vampire's 5 will now take place on Saturday the 18th and Sunday, 19 November 2023. At the time of my original post the venue for the convention had not been announced. Along with the new dates it has been confirmed that the convention will be held at Novotel Paris Roissy CDG Convention.

Slay The Vampires 5 has the strapline "One Last Time" which suggests this could be the final Buffy themed Clouds Con convention. That said given the enduring popularity of Buffy I wouldn't rule out Amber and other stars making an appearance in Paris again even if the format is different.

Drunk, Driving And 17 Written By Amber Benson To Premiere In The USA 15 April On Lifetime

4/2/2023

It's been reported on multiple entertainment websites including mortystv.com and Shadow And Act.com that Amber Benson has written a brand-new movie for the Lifetime network. Drunk, Driving And 17 is inspired by actual stories and looks at the consequences of underage drinking. The movie tells the story of Kim (Savannah Lee Smith) a popular high school senior with the world at her feet, bound for an Ivy League University until she makes a fateful decision.

Kim is drinking with friends at a house party, when she sees her boyfriend flirting with someone else, upset she grabs her car keys and drives off. Later she crashes into a fellow student with devastating consequences both for him and Kim. Kim's world falls apart as both she and her parents who supervised the party come under the scrutiny of both the authorities and their friends and neighbours.

After years of working as a successful novelist on her Calliope Reaper-Jones series, The Echo Park Coven Trilogy and co-authoring The Ghosts of Albion series with Christopher Golden, Amber is developing a growing body of work as a writer for television.

Drunk, Driving And 17 is the fourth movie Amber has written for The Lifetime Network following on from 2017's Oscar Pistorius: Blade Runner Killer and 2018’s Terror in The Woods. Then in 2020 Amber wrote A Murder To Remember, all three of these movies dealing with tragic real-life murder cases.

Amber has also written fiction for the small screen including a Murder In Mind and Death By Design both part of the popular Morning Show Mysteries series. Earlier this year Amber wrote a brand-new mystery for Hallmark entitled Family History Mysteries: Buried Past. This movie premiered in the USA on 8th of January, Amber’s birthday.

According to reports Drunk, Driving And 17 will have its USA premiere on Saturday, 15th of April at 8/7C in the USA. For more information and to get an exclusive look at the trailer click on the link below to the shadow and act website and scroll down the page. The trailer does contain some spoilers for the movie itself.

There is no word on when or if Drunk, Driving And 17 will premiere in the UK. As soon as I have any more information on this and on the movie in general I will post it here as soon as possible.

I would like to congratulate Amber, I'm thrilled that she has had another opportunity to write the script for another television movie and as I said above add to her already impressive list of credits. A big thank you to friend and fellow Amber fan Laragh for the heads up on this news.
