Hi, guys...
So, I'm starring in a new indie feature film with Shonda Farr, who played April the robot in "I Was Made To Love You." My name's Erika Amato, and I'm the lead singer of Velvet Chain... We were on "Never Kill A Boy On The First Date," playing 2 songs in the Bronze, and one of those songs, "Strong," is on the first official Buffy Soundtrack album, too. =)
Anyway, here's some info on the movie, and I hope you'll go check out the website, and if you're in the Southern California area, you are most definitely invited to the screening on Oct. 22nd!
Thanks a bunch!

You are invited to the world-premiere screening of my new movie! (Really! If you're in the SoCal area, you should definitely come!)
The film is called A Couple of Days and Nights and was written and directed by Vaughn Verdi. My band Velvet Chain's music is also used extensively in the movie, which also features tracks by 70's and 80's supergroup, Heart.
Go to the site to find out more, see pics from the movie, watch the trailer, etc.

The movie stars me, David Lago (7th Heaven, the Young and the Restless - Emmy Winner), Shonda Farr (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Jack & Bobby), Allison Munn (What I Like About You, Elizabethtown), Joseph Peracchio (Smack, Into the West), KW Miller (Wicked - nat'l tour) and Deirdre O'Connell (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).
The film will be world-premiering at the Hollywood Film Festival (at the Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood) on October 22 at 4pm. I'm not sure how much tickets cost yet, but we think that they'll be in the $10 range. I do know you'll be able to buy them online through the Arclight website, so that's cool.

As an interesting side-note, a lot of the actors in this film have extensive experince in the theater.
Allison Munn starred as "Luisa" in The Fantasticks at New York's Sullivan Street Theatre for more than 500 performances as well as performing in The Wild Party at the prestigious Manhattan Theatre Club.
KW Miller is currently on the national tour of Wicked.
Joe Peracchio is the founder and artistic director of the Tricklock Theatre Company in Albuquerque, NM, whose current original production, The Glorious and Bloodthirsty Billy the Kid-The Greatest Serial Killer of Our Time! A Wild West Show and Cabaret, has been touring the US and Europe to rave reviews.
Dierdre O'Connell has appeared on Broadway in The Front Page and Salome, as well as numerous Off-Broadway productions.
I make my living primarily from my work as an Equity actor here in LA. (Most recently, I just finished a 3-month run as "Dorothy Brock" in 42nd Street at the Welk Resort Theatre in San Diego.)
Here's the movie synopsis:
A COUPLE OF DAYS AND NIGHTS
A love story brimming with comic irony as values clash over creativity, integrity and fame.
Jula (Erika Amato) is a sultry lead singer searching the crowd for two things; a boyfriend with a "Greek-Roman Profile", and anybody with "full-on signing power". Micah (David Lago) is a wannabe in love with BMW's, pink martinis, the fairer sex and the dream of being the next single-name success story. Scott (Joe Peracchio) is a trust fund baby whose inner voice is constipated from the constant pressure of an over-bearing family business. And at the heart of this pandemonium is Rhonda (Shonda Farr), the freak out of water trying to document it and follow her dreams in the face of all obstacles, especially herself.
These four artists are swimming in their desires to be understood, accepted and loved...but drowning in the overwhelming pressures of selling out in the highly commercial world of LA. A world where they learn that dreams can drive you, desire can destroy you, but love can find you in A Couple of Days and Nights.
Hope to see you at the premiere!
