What's Happening: I'm Here
I'm Here is a short film by Spike Jonze about two robots living in semi-futuristic Los Angeles where humans and robots coexist. Based on Shel Silverstein's children's book, The Giving Tree, the plot revolves around Sheldon, the protagonist, lending his limbs to Francesca when she starts loosing hers. This is true love as it gets...
Throughout I'm Here you can hear L.A. based art musician ASKA, whose beautiful song, "There Are Many of Us," is featured in the film. ASKA told us that the inspiration came from the "first song I wrote on a guitar in a bathtub. I felt I needed to tell myself that there are many of us and not just the 'one', to release myself from being tied up to the one."
Have a listen by downloading the track for free on her website - http://www.askamatsumiya.com/
And catch ASKA perform "There Are Many of Us" live at the pop-up opening party for The Music and the Making of I'm Here, opening next Thursday!
