Amy Lynn Best is a multi-talented individual who has made a significant impact in the entertainment industry as a trained dancer and actress. Her journey in the business began with co-producing the independent feature horror film, The Resurrection Game, where she also co-starred as the pop psychologist turned zombie exterminator, Sister Mary Bliss.
As is often the case with independent film producers, Amy learned the ins and outs of the film business from the ground up. She studied cinematography from the director of photography, Bill Fuller, on the short haunted house film Tenants. 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 took on various roles within the film, serving as art director, additional photographer, and craft services. On one notable shooting date, she went above and beyond by preparing two specially-made lasagnas for the cast and crew, while denying herself nourishment due to her own role in the film, which required her to wear a skin-tight leather-and-spandex costume.
Born in Topeka, Kansas, but raised as a Pittsburgh native, Amy began studying acting and dancing at the tender age of three. Throughout her career, she has acted or worked on numerous 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 humorous 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, which has become a valuable resource for women looking to break into the industry.
