Amber to be a guest on a panel in LA later today

8/10/2024

If you live in or around Los Angeles, then here is an exciting update for you

Amber will be a guest at a panel discussing Heidi Honeycutt’s new book ‘I Spit On Your Celluloid - The history of women directing horror movies.’

Heidi is a journalist, film programmer and producer, and in this book, she looks at the history of female filmmakers within the horror genre.

To celebrate the book's publication, there will be a panel and a signing event. This will be held at Dark Delicacies Bookstore in LA today (10 August 2024) at 3 PM local time.

Amber will be a guest at the panel and may also be signing copies herself. As many fans will know, as an actor, Amber has starred in numerous horror movies and short films. She also directed Shevenge, a horror short movie in 2015.

The book contains interviews and articles on female filmmakers, and I suspect Amber may well be one of Heidi's interview subjects. I haven't been able to get my own copy yet, so I can't confirm this for you.

Regular visitors to the site will know that I try to be as thorough as possible when writing an update. I found out about this event yesterday and due to work and personal commitments it delayed me in posting this on the site. I like to give fellow fans as much notice as possible sadly I couldn't on this occasion but I wanted to post an update to help get the word out to any Amber fans living in LA.

The panel will be taking place at Dark Delicacies book store located at:-

Dark Delicacies
822 N. Hollywood Way
Burbank, CA 91505

At the time of publication there are still tickets available to this exciting event click here. And if you want to find out more about Dark Delicacies bookstore click here to find out more.

I hope everyone who is able to attend has a fantastic time. A big thank you to friend and fellow Amber fan Samantha for the heads up on this exciting event and apologies from me that I wasn't able to post it sooner.

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.
