Career Bellamy's early screen work included the role of Margaret Larkin in the supernatural horror film Cold Moon. In a 2017 interview, she described the role as the beginning of her screen career, while The Movie Sleuth described the role as her "big break".

Her performance in Baby Girl received several festival nominations, including Best Actress and Best Breakout Performance at the 2019 FirstGlance Film Festival, as well as a Best Actress nomination at the Idyllwild International Festival of Cinema.
Bellamy later played Beckett in Kevin Van Stevenson's ensemble drama The Party. The film was initially shown under the title Butterflies...; a 2021 review by Film Threat identified Beckett as its lead character. A later Film Threat review again listed Bellamy among the film's principal cast and gave substantial attention to Beckett's storyline. Bellamy won Best Actress (Feature) for the role at the 2023 Pasadena International Film Festival. The film subsequently continued on the festival and distribution circuit under the title The Party.
In 2024, Bellamy appeared as Mimi in Stevenson's A Girl Upstairs, her third film with the director. The film was presented at Dances With Films in Los Angeles, where Bellamy was listed among its three principal cast members. In the film, Mimi is a figure brought to life from a painting who challenges the isolation imposed by her creator.
