Great interviews come from the most unexpected places – this time SCIFI.radio’s The Event Horizon hosts Susan Fox and Gene Turnbow have the great pleasure of speaking with actress, dancer, singer, composer, producer, humanitarian and philanthropist – and surprisingly, poet – Amber Martinez.

On her return visit to the show, we get to pick her brains on one of the most opaque parts of filmmaking as far as the public is concerned: being a producer. Amber Martinez has spent nearly as much energy being a film producer as she has being an actor, and has tons of insight to offer on what she invests in, and why. This episode is a master class in how films get funded and how those decisions are made.

Amber Martinez is talented, vivacious and engaging, and is one of those people for whom the Universe is doing its damnedest to make sure that success comes their way.


Amber Martinez, was recently in Disney+ and Marvel’s “WandaVision”, with Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany. She also just wrapped an episode of American Horror Story Season 10. And recently shot an episode of Hulu’s Dollface Season 2 last week and attended the 2021 Festival de Cannes with full professional credentials.
