I built THE PROXY — a pilot for a micro-series about Neve Ilic, an unlicensed "Proxy" in a near-future city where personal debt is paid in memories instead of money. She neurally transforms into her debtors to extract memories owed, wearing their faces and minds for the duration of each job. In the pilot, a routine job to collect a client's memory goes wrong when she discovers it's been replaced with a false one — planted, marked by a strange glowing symbol she recognizes. The experience triggers a violent identity glitch, forcing her to break the connection. She steadies herself through a small personal ritual (tying her boot laces in a specific knot) before stepping into the rain and realizing: the same thing happened to her, three years ago. I built this because I wanted a character whose central tension — becoming other people so completely she's losing track of herself — could sustain a whole series of cases, each one chipping away at the mystery of who's planting false memories and why it started with her.
