About the film
I AM THAT, starring Amielynn Abellera (The Pitt), an adventure story set under the wide-open skies of New Mexico, is not your average nun story.
Sister Skylar's eight-day adventure to resolve questions of doubt, unites her with a gentle teenager and a handsome drifter who will affect her heart and future as she makes a pilgrimage to the site of her sister's death.
The world written and created by director Joy Marzec is a magical-realist place set in the old west that’s layered with spirit animals playing to the tune of a modern, original soundtrack that nods to the Velvet Underground, the Ramones, and 1950’s love pop.
The movie’s unexpected ending speaks to the courage and power it takes to devote oneself to finding the truth.

What people are saying
“Any movie that begins with a nun flogging herself while repeating her various sins, set to a punk rock guitar riff, immediately grabs my attention. Any film that can sustain that style for the entire time it’s on has my respect. Marzec’s debut film (short or feature-length), requires both attention and respect. Attention as a lot of crucial details are told visually, in long sequences without dialogue. On her journey, Skylar has several hallucinatory nightmares that directly relate her vices, that involve fake-looking monsters, crazy lighting, and quick, close-up edits. It is an excellent way to tell the audience how she’s feeling without resorting to needless exposition.”
