SYNOPSIS / length: 87mins / production year: 2009 / release: 2010

Yang Ruyi (32), a fashion magazine photographer, lives with her elder sister Yang Ruxing (33), a rational, introverted detective fiction author.
Ruyi has inadvertently photographed a couple making madly passionately love. Few days later in a shopping center not far from her home, she finds the woman already married, leading a child and is with a different man. Ruyi shares her secret with Ruxing who is suffering from writer's block. The two sisters begin to observe the couple; gradually Ruxing even writes some of her observations into her novel, without letting Ruyi knows it.
Late one night, Ruyi views two people are arguing, but as she picks up her camera to photograph she can only see two vague, dark outlines wrestling one another; Ruyi calls the police but upon arriving, nothing seems out of order.
Ruyi is convinced she has mistaken nothing; she enlarges the photo and discovers a third outline looks pretty much like her older sister...

[ DIRECTOR ]

CHO LI

Received her M.S. degree in Radio/TV/Film from the Indiana State University. A producer turns director. After producing some critically acclaimed film works with producer YEH Jufeng, Cho Li turns her career to directing, in the hope of developing multi-faceted genre films with her unique and irreplaceable point-of-view. The suspense feature length "ZOOM HUNTING" marks a promising directing debut.

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT：

I like to study people, to watch them; the more they are engaged in delicate and conflicts with intimates, the more deeply I am interested. As a woman, my vision of female character is quite distinct from those average Taiwanese films; as a producer who is working as a first-time director, I know I need to lure people's interest by choosing my most familiar narrative form.
Putting these two things together, I use an accidental occurrence between a pair of co-dependent sisters to draw them into a murder case, which I use to make my point: "Human Character" is the most interesting and inexhaustible matter.
