Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun Had a Complete 180 While Filming Love Me

In a world so intimately connected through the internet, life can feel isolating at times. With the ability to see into someone else's life at our fingertips, the notion of "just being yourself" is enough to give you an existential crisis. In the sci-fi drama Love Me, from first-time writer-directors Andrew and Sam Zuchero, co-stars Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun examine these concepts — self identity, purpose, love — through the curious AI minds of a buoy and satellite on a post-apocalyptic Earth.

"In the not-too-distant future," according to the movie's trailer, a lonely buoy bobs in the ocean while a satellite floats aimlessly in space, simply existing after mankind has ceased to do so. When they find each other, they explore the internet, excavating humanity and searching for the meaning of life and a sense of self.

Ahead of the movie's release, Collider's Steve Weintraub had the opportunity to speak with Stewart and Yeun about their initial thoughts on the script and how their points of view changed throughout filming. The duo discuss the ambitious plot, what it has to say about life on Earth, and how they tackle social media and the influencer lifestyle as Me/Déja (Stewart) and Iam/Liam (Yeun). They also share updates on their other projects, Yeun's Bubble & Squeak and Stewart's feature directorial debut, The Chronology of Water.
