FILMMAKER
Valerie Bundy trained in Media at the WFA where her final jointly-made documentary about a Kosovan Albanian family in Manchester was picked up by the BBC and made into a Fiona Bruce special. Valerie went on to do a Short Film course at London Film Academy and is venturing into producing.
What Would Julie Do?
Valerie wrote, created and performed in this short comedy film, starring Julie Hesmondhalgh - with a special cameo in the credits. The film was screened at 14 film festivals, including four BIFA qualifying ones, and scooped three Awards.
Valerie received a Best Writer nomination at the acclaimed Women X Film Festival.
Facade
Valerie has co-written a short, sharp thriller with Director Darren Westwood. It tells the story of Anna, who is nearing the end of her therapy but remains oblivious to the dangerous obsession growing behind her therapist’s calm facade.
Valerie is producing the film and following an intense three day shoot in January 2026, the film is now in post production.
