I'm Here - Spike Jonze short film

[bevvy]

Yeah I got an email confirmation about an hour ago

When did you apply?

[superhero]

Hmm..I can't remember sorry, it was a little while ago, a friend who works for absolut told me about it.

[bevvy]

Thanks, I just wanted to make sure that I shouldn't have got one the same day I applied. I expect mine will turn up shortly. I too like the idea of seeing films in unusual places - I loved the Exorcist screening at Mile End Cemetery

Maybe check your spam folders?

[Beate]

Yeah, my Freestyle Stratford screening email was in my spam folder.

Have I got it wrong? When I saw the info for the screening I thought it was a new advert for vodka so passed it over.

From the (rather gimmicky) website: I'm Here is a 30-minute love story about the relationship between two robots living in L.A.

(There's a bit more but it isn't copyable and I can't be bothered tonight to type it all up).

From The Guardian

This week's film events previews
Spike Jonze's I'm Here, Nationwide
Anyone who balks at the idea of indie artists collaborating with big-name brands should stop reading now. And more fool them, because for those who enjoy throwing together two opposites with a decent budget and no holds barred, the idea of a Spike Jonze half-hour film about robot love, sponsored by Absolut Vodka, is, frankly, inspired. I'm Here is a weird and wonderful celebration of a life enriched by creativity, starring British actors Andrew Garfield and Sienna Guillory as machine-headed lovers. The movie will go online on 1 Mar, but it's screening all this week in a series of random, ordinary places turned into pop-up cinemas, such as bike shops and hairdressers. Then there are larger screenings taking place in car parks in London (Thu), Manchester (Fri) and Edinburgh (27 Feb), for which you can apply for tickets online.

Various venues, Mon to 27 Feb, visit absolut.com/uk/imhere/

Thanks for the info Beate and Bevvy

My invite has arrived at last. I applied about a week ago.

Don't know much about it, but if Spike Jonze directed The Jeremy Kyle show I'd still feel compelled to watch it, he's a genius (Spike Jonze, not Kyle)

Plus, apparently you get a free drink, which is nice way to start the weekend.
