I'm Here


I'm Here is a short film from director Spike Jonze. It is set in a world where robots and humans co-exist, but with rules set in place where robots are only used for menial jobs. The robots, however, are evolving, finding new purpose in their lives and celebrating their existence....even falling in love.

This is a quite honest and frank look at a deteriorating relationship -  one where robots sacrifice to a self-destructive partner. It is a heartfelt, beautiful story that at 35 minutes long is a must see for anyone willing to get lost in the world that Spike Jonze creates. You can watch it free at the official site but only in blocks at a time. If you miss one showing make sure to keep trying, it is worth the wait.
