This 30-minute short film, called I am Here, is a creative collaboration between Absolut Vodka and writer/director Spike Jonze. The film was first unveiled at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, but is now available to watch online. Check it out here. It’s the story of Sheldon, a sad-eyed robot librarian who one day meets Francesca, a free-spirited femme-bot. They meet, fall in love, and illustrate the give and take that’s involved in relationships. There’s nothing like young robot love, huh? Speaking of cyber relationships, if you want someone to watch it with, you can do so over Facebook.
