The first look for ‘Love Me,’ starring Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun, has been revealed. Described as a “love story between a satellite and a buoy,” the film is set to premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. See the first-look image below.
What is the plot of ‘Love Me’?
From filmmakers Sam and Andy Zuchero, ‘Love Me’ follows the love story of a smart buoy and an orbiting satellite that spans a billion years and probes the mysteries of being and consciousness, which requires legit storytelling dexterity. Love Me’s whimsically philosophical, shape-shifting structure ingeniously weaves together the real, the virtual, and the surreal. Its star-crossed, web-paired metallic protagonists, inhabited in different forms by Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun, awkwardly navigate romance and companionship, equipped only with untold petabytes of archived web data, social media, and online videos. Awash in these mediated experiences and fabricated expressions of love and identity, they yearn to understand who they are, whether their feelings are real, and, for that matter, whether they are real. —JN.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Stewart described the film as “a love story between a satellite and a buoy; it’s hard to explain. I hope I don’t botch it because it’s a really revolutionarily written script.”
The film is produced by Kevin Rowe, Luca Borghese, Ben Howe, Shivani Rawat, and Julie Goldstein. Production companies are 2AM, ShivHans Pictures, and AgX.
‘Love Me’ will premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. The film had a runtime of 92 minutes.
