About “Amber Brown”

In the shadow of her parent’s divorce, “Amber Brown” is an unfiltered look at a girl establishing her own voice via art and music. Carsyn Rose (“The Rookie,” “Cousins for Life”) will play Amber Brown, an everykid going through what many children go through and trying to make sense of her new family dynamic through her doodles and video diary. Amber Brown’s mother, Sarah Brown (Grey’s Anatomy, Cruel Summer), is played by Sarah Drew (Grey’s Anatomy, Cruel Summer). Darin Brooks (“Blue Mountain State,” “The Croods: Family Tree”) and Liliana Inouye (“The Slows”) round out the ensemble cast as Max and Brandi Colwin, respectively.
