about the show

While going through her DMs, popular social media influencer Acacia Reynolds (Suzanne Lenz from HBO's Silicon Valley) is contacted by an uncanny AI replica of herself with a warning that she is in danger and how she must save herself.

Initially thinking she is being trolled, she soon finds herself in a frightening battle for her life with her own technology as every move and click she makes becomes more data to feed her highly advanced “digital twin” in this creepy thriller from Writers Guild Award Winner Daryn Strauss released exclusively on the new Rizzle app.

Told through the form of direct messages and meant for mobile viewing for the Rizzle App, I AM YOU became an instant hit when it was released on the app in partnership with Rizzle Studios, garnering over over 1 million views and 40,000 followers in just a few weeks.

I AM YOU was written, produced, directed, and edited by Writers Guild Award winning digital media pioneer Daryn Strauss. Suzanne Lenz plays dual roles as both herself and her computer generated doppelganger, a task she was up for having just played the AI Fiona on HBO’s Silicon Valley. The series was produced, shot, and directed 100% remotely during the height of quarantine with both the actress and director in separate locations.

“I Am You’s short episodes present a frightening battle between an enormously advanced digital predator and the human prey whose every preference becomes a weapon of psychological manipulation. ”
