Zoom

description

Three seemingly separate but ultimately interlinked storylines about a comic book artist, a novelist, and a film director come to life in ZOOM, a fast-paced, pop-art inspired, comed, combining live-action and animation. The comic book artist, Emma (Alison Pill), works at an artificial sex doll factory. Her comic tells the story of Edward (Gael García Bernal), a cocky film director with a debilitating secret about his anatomy. Edward creates a film that features Michelle (Mariana Ximenes), an aspiring novelist who escapes to Brazil and abandons her former model life. Michelle pens a novel that tells the tale of Emma... The Canadian-Brazilian co-production also features Don McKellar and Jason Priestley, along with original music by renowned DJ Kid Koala.
