I Am That’s first project was Foe, a film produced in collaboration with Amazon/MGM Studios and Anonymous Content. Featuring Saoirse Ronan, Paul Mescal, and Aaron Pierre. Foe is based on the award-winning novel by Ian Reid and was adapted for the screen by Davis and Reid.
A joint venture production company with writer/showrunner/executive producer Samantha Strauss (Grown Ups – currently in production, Apple Cider Vinegar, The Last Anniversary, The End, Nine Perfect Strangers, Dance Academy).

Apple Cider Vinegar is written by Samantha Strauss with Anya Beyersdorf and Angela Betzien and directed by Jeffrey Walker.
