About Zoom
Zoom follows three creators who inhabit separate realities yet wind up affecting one another through a narrative. A comic book artist, a novelist, and a film director each pursue their own projects while the stories they craft about the others begin to bleed into the other worlds. The film treats these boundaries as porous, letting panels, chapters, and scenes cross into real life and vice versa. As their creative choices ripple across all three lives, identity and authorship blur, and the line between observer and subject becomes increasingly porous. The result is a witty yet reflective look at how imagination shapes perception and how stories can reflect the people who tell them. The film uses a crisp, playful visual language.
Directed by Pedro Morelli, Zoom stars Gael García Bernal as Edward and Alison Pill as Emma among a cast that blends film and animation sensibilities. The project stems from an original concept by Matt Hansen rather than an adaptation.
Box office data for Zoom is not reported, reflecting a modest release and limited international box office. The film did not register a widely cited worldwide gross. Its exposure is largely confined to festivals, streaming platforms, and niche theatrical runs.
Despite a modest footprint, Zoom has earned a small but loyal following among fans of meta storytelling and cross media experiments. The film suggests new possibilities for how animation can intersect with literature and cinema, inviting audiences to consider who shapes a narrative and which realities it inhabits. Its visuals fuse crisp graphic panels with fluid motion and a sly humor that lingers after the credits.
Critics have noted the film's ambition and its brisk, multi strand rhythm. The core themes revolve around authorship, the permeability of fiction across formats, and the ways art redefines reality. Zoom challenges viewers to think about perspective and the power embedded in every storyteller.
