Spike Jonze short film 'I'm Here' premieres at Sundance
Spike Jonze has a new film? I'm so there! The film is slated for a global launch in March but the website http://www.imheremovie.com/ also has a link to register for a ticket for the online premiere. The film is a 'collaboration' with Absolut vodka, whether that means product placement or just the branding of the site isn't evident yet, but if it's Jonze, I'm watching.
'Spike Jonze’s new half-hour short film titled I’m Here is a robot love story celebrating a life enriched by creativity. The movie is set in contemporary L.A., where life moves at a seemingly regular pace with the exception of a certain amount of robot residents who live among the population. A male robot librarian lives a solitary and methodical life - devoid of creativity, joy and passion - until he meets an adventurous and free spirited female robot.
The film premiered at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.'
