Outlawed (2018), presented by Vision Films, is the action-packed thriller that pays tribute to veterans and their search for a civilian life post-combat. The film is the directorial debut of former Royal Marines Commando Adam Collins and co-director Luke Radford.
Adam Collins, a former Royal Marines Commando turned professional stuntman and filmmaker, conceived the film while working in the private sector protecting commercial vessels from pirate attack groups off the coast of Somalia.
“The original idea for the plot came when I was operating off the coast of Somalia as an armed maritime security team leader”, he says. “My role was to detect, deter, delay and defend against pirate attack groups in and around the Indian Ocean. Although this included a lot of hard work and training, long days at sea meant I had a lot of time on my hands. It was during this downtime that I decided to start writing the original story. When I returned to the UK, I developed the script further with my co-director Luke Radford, having previously been impressed with his work. His vast knowledge and experience within filmmaking has been an invaluable asset in the production.”
