'I'm Here' is a short, 30 minute film by acclaimed director Spike Jonze, fmaous for such hits as 'Being John Malkovich' (1999) and 'Where the Wild Things are' (2009).
It was made in 2010 and stars Andrew Garfield as a lonely robot, Sheldon who discovers love and freedom in a futuristc world through a free spirited female companion.
The visually unusual film projects a thought provoking message through it's themes on segregation and love. Ultimately it signifies the sacrafices that come with literally giving your entire self to another; a timeless tale with a quirky modern edge.
I found the film especially entertaining, it had a certain unqiueness in its blend of soft music, emotional narrative and use of realistic special effects and costume.
Spike Jonze has a diverse number of creative works under his belt including advertisements and music videos as well as being a co-creator of MTV's 'Jack-Ass'. It's therefore apparent that unlike the directors of 'Across the Hall' and 'George Lucas in Love' who created their short films to amplify their reputation in the business leading them to produce feature films, Spike Jonzes creates short films out of his passion and creative mind to do so.
Jonze's latest work is another short film with a running time of 30 minutes that stemmed from the Arcade Fire Music Video: 'The Suburbs'. The short is entitled 'Scenes from the Suburbs' and is set to premier at the Berlin Film Festival in 2011.
