To celebrate the recent release of this unique collection Dark Delicacies bookstore in Burbank California is holding a signing event. Amber is set to attend along with a number of her fellow contributors to this exciting collection.

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.

Joe

Amber Is The Special Guest On A Brand-New Episode Of Slayerfest ‘98 Podcast

10/8/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Here is my second exciting update of the day. Recently Amber was the special guest on a brand-new episode of the Slayerfest ‘98 podcast and she shared a post on her official Twitter account yesterday to let fans know how they could listen.
 
Amber has been a guest on the podcast before and this time she is joined by hosts Ian Carlos Crawford, Dana Piccoli, and LaToya Ferguson. In this episode they discuss Buffy of course and a whole lot more.
 
Amber describes her very first day working on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and encountering The Gentleman as she made her debut in the iconic Hush episode in Season 4. Her relationship with fans and why it's so important to her to have a genuine connection with them is something she misses due to the cancellation of conventions due to COVID - 19. The group talk about fashion on Buffy and the famous dress Amber wore in Once More With Feeling.
 
Amber talks openly and honestly about Tara’s exit and gives what in my opinion is a very fair and balanced view of the situation as she saw it. While not shying away from the fact mistakes were made and this storyline could and should have been done differently. She also touches upon why she opted not to return in Season 7.
 
It's not only Buffy that is discussed however as Amber talks about her ambition to be a show runner and spending her time in lockdown working on the pilot episode of The Witches of Echo Park TV series which will be based on her Echo Park Coven Trilogy of novels. She describes the challenge of adapting something from page to screen and also reveals a few snippets of information that I don't think fans have heard before which is very exciting. The Witches of Echo Park pilot is not the only thing Amber has been working on as she talks about writing A Murder To Remember, a movie based on a true crime story which had its premiere earlier this year on Lifetime in the USA.
 
The Slayerfest ‘98 podcast is available to listen and download from:
 
PodBeen
 
Apple Podcasts
 
Spotify (click on the hyperlinks)
 
Amber talks about a range of subjects honestly with compassion and fairness. This is why I personally admire Amber so much, not just for her talent for creating things and bringing characters to life but for being the genuine, kind and intelligent person she is. There are some serious topics tackled in this podcast but there are also some really funny moments. For all these reasons I’ve outlined above if you get a chance please give this podcast a listen.
