Development
Michael Lloyd Green grew up watching these types of films, that is how he was able to write the story of "I Am Mother". The film has similarities to Alien (film) franchise which the directors acknowledge. Director Grant Sputore "is mindful of these influences". He defends his creation to be unique because the story was not inspired by any specific single or group of films.
