Pompo: The Cinéphile is directed by Takayuki Hirao and features animation production by CLAP.
Gene Fini is a production assistant and film fanatic in the movie capital Nyallywood, working on popcorn films with the baby-faced movie producer Joelle Davidovich “Pompo” Pomponette.
Movie-making is a tough business in a new theatrical trailer for Pompo: The Cinéphile (known in Japan as Eiga Daisuki Pompo-san), an upcoming anime movie based on the manga by Shogo Sugitani about a pint-sized film-maker who saddles her harried production assistant with the responsibility of directing the script she has written.
