Career
The Zucheros' first feature film, Love Me (2024 film), is described as "a sci-fi romance center[ed] on a satellite and an ocean-bound buoy who become increasingly sentient and fall in love over the course of billions of years." Production took place on location in Alberta, Canada; Vancouver, Canada; and the Dumont Dunes of California before shooting sections of the film on a soundstage. For the sections on the soundstage, the Zucheros worked with production designer Zazu Myers to construct a circular set. The score for the film was written by David Longstreth, the lead singer and guitarist for The Dirty Projectors. Love Me premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.
