## Love Me Trailer: A Post-Apocalyptic Romance Between a Buoy and a Satellite
The filmmaking duo Sam and Andy Zuchero make their feature debut with *Love Me*, a post-apocalyptic romance that premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. Bleecker Street will release the film theatrically on January 31st. A newly released trailer offers a glimpse into this unusual love story.
*Love Me* unfolds in a world devoid of humanity, yet brimming with an unexpected romance. The synopsis reveals a story spanning billions of years, where a buoy (played by Kristen Stewart) and a satellite (Steven Yeun) connect online long after the extinction of humankind. As they explore the remnants of Earth’s past, they embark on a journey of self-discovery and love. The film uses a blend of live-action, animatronics, classic animation, and game engines to bring this unique narrative to life. The Zuchero brothers’ directorial vision explores contemporary themes of technology and identity, ultimately delivering a poignant tale of transformation.
Steven Yeun, known for his role in *Minari*, expressed initial nervousness about portraying a satellite, stating to *Entertainment Weekly*, “It’s actually 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 boasts an impressive cast and production team, including producers Luca Borghese, Julie Goldstein, Ben Howe, Shivani Rawat, and Kevin Rowe, and executive producers Daniel Bekerman, Christine D’Souza Gelb, and Connor Flanagan.
Critical reception at Sundance was mixed, with the film currently holding a 47% Tomatometer rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Whether this unusual premise will resonate with audiences remains to be seen. The trailer’s release, however, has certainly piqued interest, prompting questions about whether this post-apocalyptic romance will find its audience. Will you be watching *Love Me*?
