‘Love Me’ Directors on Working With Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun in ‘Kubrick Meets YouTube’ Sundance Sci-Fi Romance (EXCLUSIVE)
'Love Me,' which will have its world premiere at Sundance Film Festival, is like 'Kubrick meets YouTube,' its directors say.
Speaking exclusively to Variety, the married filmmaking team say they first thought of the idea for “Love Me” back in 2019, and shortly after the global pandemic had them ruminating on themes of isolation and human connection. The directors say they wanted to shoot “Love Me” as an episode of “Planet Earth.” “We shot the buoy in a frozen lake in Alberta in freezing temperatures, then in the Salish Sea off the coast of Vancouver. The couple was lucky all around with contributors for “Love Me,” which includes Sundance-veteran producers Kevin Rowe (“The Starling Girl”) and Luca Borghese (“The Persian Version”), plus Shivani Rawat and Julie Goldstein of ShivHans Pictures, the production and finance company behind “Captain Fantastic” and “The Trial of the Chicago 7.”
