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.

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.

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?

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.

Amber Has Written The Script For Morning Show Mysteries: Death By Design For The Hallmark Network

6/13/2019

Amber recently added to her growing body of work as a writer for television penning the script/teleplay for Morning Show Mysteries: Death By Design. This is the second movie in the Morning Show Mystery Series that Amber has written following on from a Murder In Mind which had its premiere earlier this year.

The series centers on Billie Blessings (Holly Robinson Peete) a successful restaurateur turned talk show host. Billie was once suspected of murder but after clearing her name with the help of Detective Ian Jackson (Rick Fox) the pair remained friends and occasionally find themselves at the heart of another mystery.

In Death By Design Billie’s best friend Marian is hired to redecorate the TV studio. Work comes to an end when Marian’s twin sister is found murdered and naturally Billie and Ian are on the case hot on the trail of the killer.

As regular visitors to AmberBenson.TV will know I pride myself on providing all the latest news on Amber's projects as quickly as I can. On this occasion however I somehow missed the premiere of Death By Design. I only discovered it had premiered earlier this week. I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to post an update before the premiere but of course it's fantastic that Amber has written another mystery for television.

Death By Design premiered on the 28th of April on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel available via cable providers in the USA. To find out more visit the movie's dedicated page on the Hallmark Murders and Mysteries website and its page on IMDb too. (Click the hyperlinks)

At the moment I don't know when Death By Design is due to be shown again. I will do my best to keep everyone informed. As ever please feel free to leave any information in the comments section below this post or contact us through our email and social media feeds.

I hope everyone who has the opportunity to watch it will enjoy it and as ever we wish Amber good luck with this project.
