Short Film: I’M HERE (directed by Spike Jonze) 2010
one of the reasons i’m most excited about Criterion’s upcoming release of BEING JOHN MALKOVICH is that it’s providing me with the excuse to post anything i want about spike jonze. i try to keep stuff on this site as Criterion-pertinent as i can, and it feels real good when those boundaries expand to include old skateboarding videos and a short film about robots.
to begin with, i present to you the entirety of Jonze’s irrepressibly sweet short film I’M HERE, which is an homage to Shel Silverstein’s immortal book The Giving Tree and debuted at Sundance in 2010. it’ll mess you up real good. i was a bit surprised to find this whole thing on YouTube, but enjoy it while you can.
