Bio:
Kimberly Amato was named ScreamQueen.com’s Scream Queen of the Month (March 2009) while Cinemafantiastique.net, a French Site, named her Scream Queen of the Week on March 22nd, adding to the critical acclaim she has received for her work in Under The Raven’s Wing. Amato’s portrayal of the lead character Raven is, “quite chilling, but you still want to like this weird, misfit chick with the tough past,” says Pretty/Scary’s Jane Rose. Theron Neel of Scream TV commented, “As Raven, Kimberly Amato gives an incredibly nuanced performance. At times seductive, stupid, and sadistic, Amato is a lot of fun to watch as she blusters her way through what is basically a psychological study in group dynamics.”

Not one to be limited to a specific genre, Amato also worked on a comedy television pilot entitled “Party Girl.” The original teleplay, written by Kimberly Amato and Amanda Ramirez, was a semi-finalist in the Page International Screenwriting Awards. In the 14-minute pilot, Amato, who portrayed the ditzy character “Jenna Bradley,” also wore multiple hats during the production, specifically writer, producer, editor, and director. Its completion has lead to two awards: The Aloha Accolade for Excellence in Filmmaking from the Honolulu International Film Festival, and The Golden Ace Award from the Las Vegas International Film Festival.

Recently, Amato has joined forces with Michelle Tomlinson for the webseries "The Mis-Adventures of McT & A!" as well as the short film "Itch" and a slew of other projects on their slate for the future. Beyond that she is also working with Bridge & Tunnel Media, LLC on a Spanish/English Novella Webseries.
