I Am Here

I'm Hereis the latest film from director Spike Jonze (of Where the Wild Things Arefame), a half-hour narrative short that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2010 and was released on the movie's own website in March. I'm Hereis your typical boy-robot-librarian-meets-girl-robot-free-spirit, boy-robot-librarian-gets-girl-robot-free-spirit in truth, I'm Here, a whimsical and touching look at love among robots in contemporary L.A., isn't typical of anything, and neither is this charming book, which provides spreads of color stills from the movie. I'm Hereisn't drawn or stop-motion animation; the movie is live action, with the actors wearing wonderfully awkward costumes concocted of obsolete computer parts. The performers concealed beneath all this hard-molded plastic are British actors Andrew Garfield (Boy A, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, The Social Network) and Sienna Guillory (Love, Actually; the television miniseries Helen of Troy).
