Amber was invited by youth workers in East Durham to make a film exploring the lack of facilities for young people in the area, as part of a fundraising campaign. One of the youth workers, Barry Gough, a key figure in the film, went on to help Amber in the making of The Scar (1997) and Like Father (2001). As part of Coalfield Stories, he and fellow Seaham single parent father Paul Herron, collaborated with photographer Peter Fryer on the development of Fathers (2001). He and his son Callum then took on lead roles in the film Shooting Magpies(2005). His daughter Aimee helped photographer Karen Robinson develop All Dressed Up (2005), also part of Coalfield Stories.
