At last! Amber has found a way to sell "Chance" to us salivating fans... infact, she has found two ways, but let's go with the latest news up at the Chance website first! You may now buy a signed never before seen photo (color 8x10) taken on the set of Chance or a signed second printing of the Chance poster and receive a FREE DVD or VHS copy of the film Chance. You will receive the photo or poster as soon as your order is processed. Once we have acquired enough orders to make our first shipment, the DVD or VHS will be sent to you.
So tell everyone you know -- The faster the orders come in, the faster we can deliver!
Prices and Payment
If you purchase ONLY the poster or ONLY the photo, the cost is $45 plus shipping and handling. You will receive one copy of the film. S&H in the United States is $6. International S&H - meaning anywhere other than the United States - is $10.
You may also purchase both the poster AND the photo. You will receive one copy of the film. The cost is $55 plus shipping and handling. S&H in the United States is $8. International S&H is $13.
We accept two methods of payment: PayPal or money orders. The money orders must be US money orders or drawn on US funds. Money orders should be sent to:

Thank you for supporting all of the blood, sweat and tears that went into Chance. We hope to hear from you soon!

Okay, I made up my mind! I just sent off my order ;D I'm getting the poster, coz it looks wacky! ;D They are obviously having a lot of interest because the original message was held up while they dealt with the others before mine... Glad to see that it should do well .

You don't have to - you can mail your order. Details are in the first post. And you can arrange international money orders at a bank.

Hey Pk After sending off for your Poster, how long was it before you recieved a confirmation e-mail saying that your order had gone through??
It's just that i sent off for mine sometime last week and we still haven't recieved an e-mail about it, and i was wondering if it was because something has gone wrong or our order hasn't gone through properly.

I ordered on the net, and you kinda make a preliminary order saying what you want, and then they email back with their details for payment, which is the confirmatory email. I ordered within days of it being made available and had my email a couple of days later. If they have had a lot of orders building up as word has spread it will be slower now.

Amber's aunt and uncle were at the Buffy track taking orders for Chance.....should be shipping by next week or so was mentioned. They were only taking dvd orders for some reason, I want a vhs, so I'm gonna order online. The screening was just on a large screen and I was on the back row....really wanted to be closer but I was lucky to get in the room at all....they were turning people away cos of number restrictions for the room. Anyway.....don't want to give the plot or storyline away....but Chance is actually Amber Benson's character and the movie is a quirky look at her life in real time and in flash back. She's funny....she speaks directly to the camera at times, which is revealing. James Marsters plays Simon.....who she meets at a psychiatric hospital.....he's very likeable and vulnerable...you're gonna love the scenes with Chance's mom....and the neighbor is a treat! It's really short.....about seventy minutes, give or take a few.....but worth viewing!

Yeah, but I knew that already... go ahead and give the details! People needn't read the freaking post if they don't wanna know If you don't, I will once I eventually get my hands on a copy! I hope they do mean they are shipping next week. Had the poster ages ago and it is tantalising to be so near and yet so far!

Some folks have received their DVDs/videos so shouldn't be too long now. ;D
[glow=red,2,300]Sorry folks. Have had to remove the link to the caps, as the site is waaay busier than they imagined it would be and no longer want people to link to them. Victims of their own success, huh...[/glow]

Err... not to be overtly dumb, but what's 'the Buffy track?' (haven't been to any cons) I ran out to the mailbox and no Chance DVD yet. Thank goodness for TxVoodoo's screencaps at Sparklies. It looks like a totally fun flick.

Dragon*Con was so huge and covered such a wide variety of sci fi and fantasy that there were "tracks" for certain shows and themes, which really meant a programme of events for the weekend.
Aren't those caps wonderful?! Rbabe made them, so obviously she has had her copy of the movie ;D

WOW there are some really cute pics there. I love this film already and I haven't watched it yet. Hmmmm gotta say though a little too much Amber kissage going on there. But can you blame her when he's looking that gorgeous. ;D

That bint needs to get her hands off my man! uh, I mean... Some slobber-worthy pics, as well as some ROTFLMFAO-worthy pics... makes me wonder about the dialogue that goes along with it... I've just got to say though... did James and Amber share a wardrobe?! His clothes are... umm... well... gay-like... At one point, I was like "Is that..." then I 'duh-ed' myself... yeah, AH was in it... hmm... did you know there are 3 AHs in the Buffyverse? Andy Hallett, Alyson Hannigan, and Anthony Head... just another piece of useless information! ;D

No gay man I know would be seen dead in the gear James wears, in real life or in this movie, LMAO! Well, one or two might like the dress and lippy, but that's not so much a gay thing as a thing... ;D

Okay, I have now watched the movie twice and been delighted by it both times. ;D Broadly speaking, it is a romantic, quirky, funny, non-linear voyage of small epiphanies, with all the characters orbitting round the feisty Chance (Amber). Jumping back and forth in time as Chance relates her anecdotes about how she is who she is, how in hell there is a "dead" body on her bed.... I really enjoyed Chance's commentary, often talking directly to camera mid scene which only seems to be acknowledged by wacky neighbour Milton. And the wandering minstrel, punctuating key scenes with pertinent and pithy lyrics and cynicism. Kinda Shakespearean! And the vivid colours - particularly on the street, in the park, and in Chance's apartment, which are then washed away when Simon (James) and Chance are telling tall stories to frighten off Chance's ex-one-night-stand Rory. The "flashbacks" in the "small psychiatric facility in Santa Barbara" where Simon and Chance are supposed to have been room-mates are shrouded in black and white, and with the characters' colours muted. Nice touch, to make it stand out from the other, genuine flashbacks. There are many stand out moments for me. - Chance in voiceover at the beginning telling us that "Real life; it's just a movie with someone's fingers jammed on fast-forward. The numbers change faster than you can count." Scary but true! - Chance's rant in the car at loser ex Rory. Way to go girl! ;D - The constipated look from Johnny when talking to Simon about the miracle of the tofu cheese wrap "Just an epiphany, man!" - Chance being uncharacteristically goofy and tongue-tied when smitten by Jack the singer "He.Is.A.God!" - wacky neighbour Milton, fascinated and enriched by Observing Chance's life and the comings and goings from her apartment, and the system he and Simon have for scaring off pizza delivery guys! - Chance's declaration that usually she isn't interested in other women because "If I want a little pussy, I got my own to play with." ;D - Absolutely everything to do with Chance's mother's visit and their later encounters with her father. Favourite James bits? The role swapping between Chance and Simon when mom visits is glorious. James' shoulders clad in spaghetti straps are a sight never to be forgotten ;D Chance in fake moustache and Simon's clothes is so cute and insecure. And Simon's barely restrained annoyance when at first Chance's mom fails to play along with their little game. Getting mad when Chance calls him "brother". His anxious "I don't come across as asexual to you, do I?" Cramming his mouth full of pizza. And later, burning his mouth on his microwaved food (tofue cheese wrap? ;D) Applying lipstick and smoulderingly kissing the mirror where Chance has left her own lipstick mark. "Bitch!" Simon's sincerity and hurt when trying to explain to Chance that he doesn't fuck, he makes love.... His expression when he returns home at the end of the movie and Chance leaps on him saying she hates him (but loving him, and he knowing it). With money and time, Amber could be dangerous!! Good work!
