  • ALMT-Fan Fridays: VisualCrack interview with Amber Moelter

    January 15th, 2010

    On ALMT-Fan Fridays I write about fandom.

    John Phillips, a “self confessed movie fanatic”, recently interviewed me on a variety of subjects from Catwoman:Resolution, Dirty Step Upstage, Girl In The Red Dress, and the future of ALM Talkies on his site VisualCrack. VisualCrack is an offshoot of site Absolutely Random and focusses primarily on genre movies (horror, sci-fi, cult).

    Here’s a sample of the interview:

    VC: Amber, you describe ALM Talkies as a boutique production company, tell us a little bit about what that means?
    AM: It means our projects are very specialized, and geared to expressing my own vision. After founding the company it took me more than three years to pin down just what that vision was, but I now believe that ALM Talkies can be unique: innovative and edgy, with an emphasis on artistry.

    VC: ALM Talkies seems to have managed to bring together some strong team members, I’m sure our readers will be familiar with Deborah Kampmeier and Colin Blakeston, how did you manage to bring all these highly experienced people together?
    AM: I’ve always focused on putting together a strong team. Positivity, creativity, support and passion from the people I work with matter a lot to me. Deborah is my mentor through New York Women In Film and Television, and hearing her talk about the difficulties she went through with her film Hounddog reassured me that I wasn’t the only one to face challenges. As for Colin, he’s a long-time friend from my days as an actress in London. I played Catwoman in two fan-films he directed – although only one saw the light of day – and he recently helped me with the titles and color of my film Dirty Step Upstage. He’s a great collaborator and incredibly supportive friend.
