Exquisite! This film definitely has promise.
It'll be interesting, though, to see whether ID will stumble down the same pitfalls as other "What Measure Is a Non-Human" and "Just a Machine" films that have tackled these conventions in the past; I'm already seeing countless similarities between this and Spielberg's A.I., beyond just the title, for instance, and I thought that film was a mixed bag, myself.
Still, I think the film's premise is very interesting. My personal preferences aside, I'd have no idea if I'd ever replace a partner with a fembot/bio-droid replica in their image without her conscious consent, especially knowing that her mind wouldn't also be transferred over into the robot body...does anyone else struggle with this dilemma when it comes to transformations?

American version of Sakura?
the premise seems similar from what I can see. Sakura was a tragedy, not sure where they are going with this movie.

I'll buy it ... if nothing else for the robotic scenes.
Some of the robo-vision reminds me of the Synthetica demo video on Vimeo, but the names don't line up.

Apparently NiceDay, Inc. took down the "ID" page and their home page has not much but a clips reel. The effects for ID (the robot insides shot) is around 2:05 to 2:10.

It seems the film has been submitted to this festival:
http://www.tcif3.com/2010-Films.html
The trailer is also still on Vimeo
http://vimeo.com/13529641
(youtube also if you search)
I believe the way short films work is that they first make the "circuit" of film festivals and only then are released. I don't think that there's a market for 25 minute films, so I would wild speculate that in a year or so the film will be put on Youtube or somewhere.
That's the pattern the Michael Risinger Film "Replacement" followed and this seems like simply a longer development of the same idea - not to say that's bad. The film looks really great and I absolutely want a copy of it.

The centuries rarely produce a genius. It is our bad luck that the great genius of our era was granted to the Turkish nation.

Films show at festivals until they are either picked up by a distributor or no festival will show them anymore.
The really big film festivals are Cannes (which is Industry-Only), TIFF, and Sundance; after that come Berlin, San Francisco, Telluride, NYC, etc. Virtually every municipality/locale has one now, which I used to think was absolutely useless, but I now understand that every festival, however small, provides a forum for independent filmmakers to show their work, and so is valuable.
However, the chances of anyone important seeing a movie at one of the lower-tier festivals and then deciding to fund its distribution is next to zero. And you will very, very quickly run out of festivals willing to screen a movie that's been screened at numerous other festivals already. So I think I.D. has almost no chance of ever being commercially distributed.
If we're lucky, the filmmakers will eventually decide to press their own DVDs and sell directly via their website (as Sydney Film School graduate Paul Leeming did with his thesis film Eve several years ago). That's one way to recoup the expense of making the film. But there are alternatives: bankruptcy, for example. Or keeping your day job. Or, for the very committed, keeping the film under wraps until you can make another, which then (you hope) gets distributed, which then (you hope) increases interest in the last film.

Karel is right, I believe.
Keep in mind this is a 25 minute Sci Fi film, so the chances of normal distribution are really, really small. It seems to be mainly showing at regional Sci Fi festivals. There's at least one further one it's been submitted to.
Keep in mind that nicedayinc seems to be a special effects/editing shop, so the producer already has a film job. My guess is that Nice Day probably doesn't depend on ID's success at all.
I would again guess that the film was basically some combination of personal project and demonstration/resume-builder.
Either way, I would expect that when the film run is done he will be distributing the thing.
