Spike Jonze’s first film since Where the Wild Things Are is presented in multimedia format with There Are Many of Us, a deluxe hardcover book packaged with a DVD and a CD soundtrack.
The film itself, I’m Here, is an emotional 30-minute short that follows the romance between two endearing robots in an alternate version of modern-day LA. The book features photos, interviews, and behind-the-scenes glimpses at its genesis, while the soundtrack includes songs from Sleigh Bells, Animal Collective, and the Lost Trees — a group featuring Nick Zinner, Flea, and singer Aska Matsumiya.
While the soundtrack is also available separately and the film (which was a collaboration with Absolut) can be streamed online, by packaging them both together with the gorgeous book, the folks at McSweeney’s have hit on the perfect 360-degree presentation for modern media.
