Interview with Adam Bellamy, Writer, Director & Producer of ‘Vulnerable’

Adam Bellamy‘s ‘Vulnerable’ is poignantly powerful short film drawn from personal experiences the filmmaker went through as a child. His directorial debut served as a form of catharsis for the actor and director as he worked with a trusted and creative team to bring the film to life. Set in the tranquility of a typical British day in the countryside, the calm of the setting belies the malevolent and seriousness of the story within.

We sat down with the writer, actor, director and producer to dig into the making of the film and broke down some of the key parts of the production process alongside how Bellamy felt making a film so close to him and what he hopes for the film.

I was passionate about making a film that shares, reveals and explores – with raw honesty, all the truths, light and dark, of an experience like mine. The film looks to challenge, surprise and expand the viewer’s understanding of the profound, long lasting emotional and psychological effects that can remain with a victim into their adulthood.
