O: Hi Amber, let's start the www.racksandrazors.com readers off with a visual. Can you describe the room or place where you are answering these questions? A: Aw, geez, ur such a typical male! LOL! I'm sitting in my bedroom on my MAC laptop in my red Playboy bikini, I just got back from the beach. And it's March. Don'tcha just love Florida! O: When did you first realize you were meant for performing? A: I was 10, and just started going to the Boys & Girls Club after school. The Drama Club put on their first play, and I thought, That's what I want to do! So I marched up to the director and told him he had to put me in his next play. The rest is history! O: I want to hear about your role as Sara in the upcoming Quarantined Production of 'The Evil Within'. Give me a teaser for the movie that will make it irresistable to the readers. A: Sara is married to William Harper. He is an avid art collector. On his 30th birthday, he receives a painting. Wrapped in brown paper, there's no return address & it's not from anyone at the party. Years earlier, a painting was stolen from the Museum of Art. A painting that was made by a serial killer hundreds of years ago. His paintings became famous after he died because he used to use victim's blood to paint with. We find out that William's great great grandfather is that serial killer. Evil is passed down from generation to generation. Can you fight the Evil Within? O: Good premise. In the very well-received 'Broken' from Enigma Factory you do all sorts of stunts and firearms work. Which was the most challenging for you? A: The gun training was a piece of cake. My friend took me to the range twice, he is Special-Ops, so I was lucky to learn from him, and since I had no experience before, it was easier to learn because I kept my mind open to what he was telling me. I'm also a great shot, so lookout boys! And the stunts were relatively easy, I've taken ballet since age 7, and still do take it, so I'm really limber and martial arts isall very fluid as well. So, I'd have to say the most challenging was filming for 8-10 hours in the basement of that hospital with no air, no ventilation, in the dead of summer, in thigh-high patent leather boots and rubbery-plastic purple pants. And then going to the air-conditioned makeup room to get freshened up. Yup, I definitely got sick from that one! O: Did that very physical role in 'Broken' get you addicted to action parts, give you new respect for the people who do them, affirm that you could do them, or give you more than enough action experience for a decade or so? A: Oh yeah, I'm totally addicted. I'm an adreniline junkie to begin with. I used to love roller coastrers, but I've been skydiving twice and nothing tops that! I love physical things, I'm a gym rat and very active. I am also psyched to find that I'm really good at stunts and fight sequences. I attribute my success to my teachers. But there's also that inner drive you have to have. And your body MUST be in shape to handle it. Without that inner core strength, your muscles will fail you. Everyone out there in the practice field with the exception of one was able to handle the training, even if they had no experience, because they either work-out, or do yoga, or in some fashion have their body in shape. With all the action films that are out there, everyone thinks it's so easy. Oh, I'll just pick up a sword and I'll kick ass..It's a lesson for them when they find it's not that simple. It really is a skill that has to be acquired. O: Okay, so now tell me a little bit about 'Broken'. The trailer looks awesome. A: Thanks! A bolt of lightning, a flash.. Bonnie wakes out of her sleep. She is drop-kicked by Marquez and kidnapped by Duncan's gang. Can Bonnie escape her past? She can''t run forever... O: Tell me about your role as Freya in the upcoming movie 'Legend of the Red Reaper'. A: I fell in love with Freya after Matt sent me the script. Kim Pritekel is such an amazing writer, her characters have all these layers, and she really makes them 3 dimensional. Freya left her family when she was a girl, old enough to see that how she was brought up was wrong. Her father was leader to the group called the Clans, people who pillaged from the humans when they were attacked by the Demons. She ran away and Andre, a Reaper leader, falls in love with her. She becomes a Reaper and Andre & Freya have a 300 year romance. Reapers live to be about 5-600. So she has this inner valiant light within, to stand up for what is right and fight for what she believes in. She is a strong, skilled, brilliant warrior and woman. The thing I love about her is that she is trained to fight with anything. She is mainly unarmed, and uses other's weapons agianst them. She has a bow & arrow of her own, but also fights with broadswords and staff, her hands, anything around she'll just grab. I love it! O: Give me a teaser for the scare-sounding movies 'Unrest' (and your role as Julie Cosgrove) as well as 'Miami Ghost Tale'. A: Julie is Jason's girlfriend. Jason wakes up to find Julie not there. His house is trashed. Did her ex, the one who keeps stalking her and not leave her alone, break in? Jason's always had insomnia, but this is really wearing on him. This ex situation is really bothering him. He installs security cameras inside the house. He wakes up to find Julie dead. He watches the security video.. O: Do you have any other upcoming projects you would like to let the www.racksandrazors.com readers know about? A: I am flying up to NY to work on a film called Voosha Day. It has the Sopranos guys in it. Fun! Dean Production Group is also putting in the works the Prequel called The Legend of the Broken Peace. Kim Pritekel is writing the novel now, and the book should be done by October, then The Legend of the Red Reaper comes out in November. Genius Marketing! The prequel tells the background of my character Freya, and her hubby Andre, played by Hollywood hottie Christian Boeving (Batman & Robin, Kingdom of Heaven, Alias). O: Do you have a career definition for success or how you will know you have made it? A: Yes. When I don't have to have another job just to support my acting carreer! lol! O: Okay, we're pulling the car into the Amber Crawford Drive In. What three horror flicks are on the triple bill for tonight and what goodies are they going to be serving up at the concession stand? A: Wolf Creek, The Silence of the Lambs, and Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window. As far as goodies, I'm a health freak, I eat all organic, and my food staples consist of chicken, fish, salad, and fruit & veggies. So let's say this is a party at my house, and it's my cheat day, so in that case there will be van Gogh Double Chocolate or Espresso Vodka, Cristal or Louie Rodiere champagne, strawberries, organic pizza, home-made rice crispy squares and my mom's peach cobbler. Yumm!!! O: What makes you go psycho in real life? A: The male ego. I have a problem with guys who are that shallow. Grow up. Respect women. They have an opinion & just because it wasn't yours, are you really that immature? Abuse of children and animals. American greed. This really is the Land of Opportunity, but this collaboration of the Food Companies intertwined and owned by the Drug Companies in association with the Trade Associations along with the FDA & FTC to put chemicals in our food to make our society sick and obese to perscribe chemical drugs to only get sicker and kill our own people while the CEO's, Presidents, and govenment get rich is sickening. O: What scares you in real life? A: Well, we all know we are going to go sometime. I think ereryone has a fear of how they die. Mine is the fear of burning to death. I wouldn't want to experience the pain of my flesh melting off my bones. I've often wondered where that fear comes from. Is it the premonition of how we are going to die? Maybe a death from a past life? Not sure. But I do know that I want my funeral to be something different than the norm. I wish mine could be like what the vikings used to do. Build a funeral pyre and set it aflame and send it out into the ocean as the sun sets. |
