Spike Jonze's latest short film, "I'm Here," can be streamed online as of March 19. The 30-minute film, sponsored by Absolut, is a love story about two robots who live in Los Angeles.
Jonze ( Where the Wild Things Are) premiered the film in January at the Sundance Film Festival, then screened it again at the Berlinale festival in February. I'm Here can now be viewed for free in the US at the film's website, and is "coming soon" in additional locations, according to the film website. Daily screenings in all locations are likely to be limited: Views on the US site are capped at 700 or so a day, according to the blog Slash Film.
I'm Here was produced in partnership with Absolut Vodka, which has previous collaborated with artists Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, and Helmut Newton."They didn't give me any requirements to make a movie that had anything to do with vodka," said Jonze. "They just wanted me to make something that was important to me, and let my imagination take me wherever I wanted...making something that affected them emotionally was the only thing that really mattered."
