Story
The movie 'Zoom' weaves together three interconnected stories, each set in a different reality but linked through the medium of storytelling itself. At its core, it's about the creative process and the exchange between various artistic disciplines: comic book art, literature, and filmmaking.
1. **Comic Book Reality**: The story begins with a struggling comic book artist named Ed (Stuart Stone), who lives in a world where his drawings sometimes come to life. He creates a character named Emily, inspired by a woman he sees on the beach but can't approach due to his social anxiety.
2. **Literary Reality**: Meanwhile, in another reality, we meet a novelist named Micah (Gael García Bernal). Micah is trying to finish his book, which features a character based on Ed's Emily. However, his writer's block worsens when he learns that the real Emily has died.
3. **Film Reality**: In yet another reality, a film director named Douglas (Jason Priestley) is struggling with his own creative process. He's trying to make a movie about Emily, but his cast and crew are less than enthusiastic.
As the stories unfold, each of these realities begins to influence the others, leading to unexpected connections and consequences.
Summary
'Zoom' is a unique blend of animation, comedy, and drama that explores the creative process through multiple lenses. Directed by Pedro Morelli in 2015, it's a co-production between Brazil and Canada. The film stands out for its innovative narrative structure, which intertwines the stories of three different characters - an anxious comic book artist, a blocked novelist, and a frustrated filmmaker.
At its heart, 'Zoom' is about the power of storytelling to connect us across realities and mediums. It's also a commentary on the filmmaking process itself, with many scenes taking place on set or in pre-production meetings. The movie features animation that often spills over into live-action, reflecting the surreal nature of these interconnected worlds.
While 'Zoom' might not follow a traditional narrative structure, it offers a fresh and thought-provoking take on storytelling, artistry, and the creative process.
