"Love Me" is a sci-fi romance about a satellite and an ocean buoy who become increasingly sentient and fall in love over billions of years. It stars Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun.

The directors built an actual satellite and buoy to scale before the film morphs into "Sims"-style animation using motion capture with the actors.

The animated section was inspired by "The Sims" and Mark Zuckerberg's vision for the Metaverse. The final section was shot on 35mm to resemble a play.

The set was a circular "impossible condo" designed from the perspective of beings who had never been in a room before.

The score is a four-hand piano piece meant to mirror the two main characters, performed by pianists from the LA Philharmonic.
