We can’t remember the time we were this excited for a short film, but Spike Jonze’s thirty-one minute robot love story, “I’m Here” earned rave reviews from Sundance attendees while the trailer, official stills and soundtrack details have left us salivating.
Swiss publishing house Nieves, who specialize in art books, have put up a preview for a new photo-zine by Spike Jonze containing images from “I’m Here.” The 48-page book is little more than still images, but will undoubtedly be a must-have for fans of the film. We’ve grabbed four of the five preview images from the site and placed them below. The site also has this official synopsis for the film:
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.
No word yet on when we might see the film, though the official site does say it will be unveiled their in March. We kind of thing that plan will change. CAA who are repping the film were still negotiating with various buyers including IFC late last week. We do hope with Park City emptying today that a deal is soon to be announced.
