The director behind the explosive documentary *Corey Feldman vs the World *is shutting down the actor's claim that he was not aware of the film or involved in its production.

Last week saw the release of the doc, which follows Corey Feldman as he tours the world with his band, Corey's Angels. At one point in the film, Feldman claims that his frequent collaborator and late *The Lost Boys *costar Corey Haim "molested" him during the production of the popular 1987 vampire flick. Feldman's attorneys subsequently shared a statement with ** clarifying his comments, stating that Feldman was not involved in the making of the documentary, and claiming the footage was obtained "through dishonest means."

On Tuesday, director Marcie Hume argued otherwise, sharing a video of Feldman and herself in a parking lot during his tour in which he expresses enthusiasm for and awareness of the project. The clip, shared to Hume's Instagram page, was accompanied by a lengthy caption.

"Filming intensely with Corey Feldman was to watch him battle the world. This is no longer just a metaphor: It’s the foundation of why this film is titled *Corey Feldman vs. the World*. I somehow never imagined that he would so fully turn that same reflex on me," Hume began. "The exact same suspicion, flattening of nuance, and the insistence that anything complicated must be an attack. I should not feel shocked, but I somehow held hope that he would see the care that went into this film. Somehow, I always hold out hope for him."

Hume then explained that her team decided to release the video in direct response to Feldman's claim that he "does not know how we obtained the footage."

She continued, "This is a small, plain glimpse of the reality of filming with Corey and of the relationship that existed while making this film. That time was challenging but also often positive. If you have not seen the film, I can almost guarantee it is not what you are expecting. Even now, even with all the noise, I find him endlessly fascinating. I still have genuine care for him. Even if, for the moment, he seems to have forgotten that we decided together that I would make this documentary."

In the newly released clip from Hume, Feldman playfully takes control of her camera, holding it selfie style so they are both in the frame as he narrates, "Here's the deal: So Marcie's on the bus with us because Marcie is the documentarian who's making the film you're watching. Now that she's living the life with us, she is part of the adventure whether she likes it or not. You can't just be a bird on the wall, or a fly on the wall, when you're living it."

In an additional statement shared with EW, Hume said, "Whatever Corey feels about the film is only one layer in a much bigger, more complicated story. The film itself holds the full experience: messy, nuanced, both hilarious and heartbreaking. I hope viewers look past the noise and see the complex picture. Corey’s response is simply one more beat in a story about what happens when any of us are asked to face our own image. There’s more in this film than the headlines could ever hold."

About an hour into *Corey Feldman vs the World*, the actor alleges that Haim, who died in 2010 at 38, "molested" him when the then-teenagers were shooting* The Lost Boys*.

"I hold myself partially responsible, because I didn't tell him no, or I didn't stop them from doing what they did," Feldman says in the footage. "I mean, I did set it up. I called him and said, 'Come over.' But you know when you've got somebody that's trying to come on to you sexually, and you don't want that, and you're a kid, and you're scared, you do whatever you can to stop it from happening, and that's what was happening. I was being molested by Corey Haim, truth be told."

Feldman's attorneys subsequently said in a statement to EW that his comments were "in reference to Mr. Haim's advances, not physical molestation." Alleging that the documentary and subsequent media coverage distorted their client's words, they added, "Mr. Feldman makes no claim that Corey Haim physically 'molested' him."

As for claims that the footage was obtained "through dishonest means," lawyers representing the documentary responded with the statement, "All footage used in this film was obtained lawfully and with Corey Feldman’s express written consent. In addition to providing signed releases and complete documentation, Corey was consistently involved throughout production and repeatedly invited filming to take place, as viewers can clearly see in the film itself."****Lawyers for Feldman did not immediately reply to EW's request for comment regarding Hume's video.**
