Remember when I told you about Spike Jonze’s latest project titled I’m Here, a 30-minute short film about robots in love? After premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in January, I’m Here is finally available to watch online. Here’s an updated synopsis for you:
I’m Here is a love story about two robots living in contemporary Los Angeles. The sad-eyed robot librarian Sheldon (Andrew Garfield) leads a lonely and methodical life, until he one day meets Francesca, a creative and free-spirited female robot (played by Sienna Guillory). Robot romance develops and the story is just as beautiful as it is unpredictable.
Though it’s sponsored by Absolut Vodka, you won’t find any product placement in the film. When you’re ready to sit back, relax, and pop some popcorn, head over to www.imheremovie.com to watch short film. The site is pretty neat, actually; it all plays out like you’re going to a virtual movie theatre. And get this–the site limits the audience to 5,000 viewers per day. So if the theatre’s all filled up today, better luck tomorrow. Enjoy.
