Adam Hamdy (born 12 March 1974) is a British writer and film producer best known for his debut comic book limited series The Hunter and his comedy feature film Pulp, which became the first film to ever premiere on the Xbox Video platform.
Hamdy was born and raised in London, United Kingdom. He attended the University of Oxford, and graduated with a degree in law. He also holds a degree in philosophy from the University of London. After a number of low-level jobs in the media industry, Hamdy joined the consulting team at Lloyd's of London. From there, he went on to join a niche management consulting firm.
Using seed finance provided by the partners in his consulting firm, Hamdy founded a company that developed specialist online payment systems. He raised £7.5m in venture capital to launch the business. The business was later sold to one of the venture capital investors. Between 2000 and 2001, Hamdy co-wrote a weekly diary column for The Guardian on the ups and downs of being an Internet entrepreneur.
Hamdy left the corporate world to focus on building a career as a writer. One of his first writing jobs was doing additional story work on 50 Cent: Blood On the Sand. He went on to write comics, and created The Hunter, which launched in December 2007. He also created Starmaker: Leviathan, another comic series that was published online and in print in 2009. In late 2009 it was announced that Hunter had been optioned for a film by Scarlet Fire Entertainment, with Hamdy providing the script.
