Imagine learning about humanity only from our digital footprint. Sounds like good fodder for a psychological horror movie to us, but for writer-directors Sam and Andy Zuchero, it’s the premise for the post-apocalyptic love story that serves as their feature-length debut. On January 1, Bleecker Street dropped a new trailer for Love Me, which stars Kristen Stewart as a “smart buoy” who meets a satellite played by Steven Yeun. Together, they use the internet to learn about what life and love on a now-deserted Earth was like. This apparently leads them to start role-playing as animated versions of Deja and Liam, a YouTube couple. But they’re also developing their own senses of self, too. “I’m not even a buoy anymore,” Stewart says at one point, while Yeun later adds, “We’re becoming who we are.” We’re just glad they didn’t feel digitally called to, like, try to join the skibidi-verse or something.
