"I Am That I Am" is an experimental film that delves into the complex journey of Detective Hyde, a disillusioned South African youth who creates a virtual world to escape his reality of loneliness and unemployment. As his creation spirals out of control, Hyde must confront the consequences of playing God. Key characters include Hyde, the dancer Blythe, and a cast of secondary characters who each represent different facets of human nature. The film blends elements of sci-fi and mystery, influenced primarily by the aesthetics of film noir and Afro-futurism.
