The beautiful creative force that is Spike Jonze recently collaborated with Absolut Vodka to create a 35 minute robot love story entitled “I’m Here”. The short film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival over the weekend, much to the delight of critics and fans alike.
We’re happy to see Spike continuing to push the boundaries of technology, especially on his smaller productions. Judging by the trailer below, it seems like Jonze and his team are in a full on creative groove- As a skateboarder, filmmaker and a fan of Spike’s since day one it’s been pretty inspiring on all levels to see his vision and craft progress.
About the Film:
Spike’s epic short film, I’m Here, made its grand entrance at the Sundance Film Festival. It’s a robot romance and a futuristic fable rooted in the universal emotions of first love, ruminating on youth, identity, autonomy and loss. What began as a small project in the wake of Where the Wild Things Are quickly blossomed into a 35-minute tale that provided Spike ample room to fully flesh out his melancholy heroes, a pair of robot lovers.
These clunky, sensitive machines feel as familiar as old friends by the end of the film, thanks in no small part to the same subtle special effects wizardry that brought the Wild Things’ facial features to life.
