New Spike Jonze Short Film

If I was a Vodka man, I’d be hard pressed not to drink Absolut Vodka. These guys are marketing in a way that only a filmmaker can truly admire. As a follow up to their sponsorship of a comedy short by Zack Galifianakis (with Tim and Eric of Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job!), Absolut has gifted us with a new short film from director Spike Jonze (Were the Wild Things Are, Being John Malkovitch, Adaptation) called “I’m Here.”

The short film has remarkably high production value; the kind that makes you break the tenth commandment. And if that wasn’t enough, it is being presented in a spectacular way. Each day, limited screenings take place in a virtual online theater, making views feel so exclusive that you’re not likely to turn it off half-way through. If there’s any way to get an audience to sit through a half-hour short film, this may be the best way I’ve seen yet…but being Spike Jonze doesn’t hurt either.
