Amy Lynn Best
- Actress
- Producer
- Director
Amy Lynn Best is a trained dancer and actress who started in the
business by co-producing the independent feature horror film, The
Resurrection Game, and co-stars as the pop psychologist turned zombie
exterminator, Sister Mary Bliss. Like many independent film producers,
Amy learned the film business from the ground up. On the short haunted
house film Tenants, for instance, Amy studied cinematographer from that
film's director of photography, Bill Fuller. Out of necessity, she
learned the basics of grip work, camera operation, and the fine art of
line producing. In addition to acting in and producing The Resurrection
Game, Amy served the film as art director, additional photographer and
craft services. On one shooting date in particular, she fed the cast
and crew two specially-made lasagnas, then denied herself her
nourishment due to the fact that she still had to go before the camera
in a skin-tight leather-and-spandex costume. Born in Topeka, Kansas but
raised as a Pittsburgh native, Amy studied acting and dancing since she
was three years old. She has acted or worked on many films and made her
feature directorial debut on Happy Cloud Pictures' Severe Injuries.
Amy's most notable cameo is in Paul Scrabo's Dr. Horror's Erotic House
of Idiots, a funny parody of the b-movie industry starring Debbie
Rochon. An outspoken advocate for women in the horror industry, Amy
co-created the Women in Horror Website Pretty-Scary.net
