Pompo the Cinephile is opening exclusively in select USA theaters on April 29, 2022
Sometimes, all it takes is a good producer to make a mediocre screenplay great. That’s where Pompo comes in. Pompo the Cinephile is a bold producer in “Nyallywood” known for her brilliant work with B Movies. However, she is broadening her range and is producing a delicate drama her assistant Gene will direct. But as it does for a first-time director, things don’t go as hoped and the production gets chaotic. Get a glimpse of the gorgeously rendered chaos behind making cinematic magic in the trailer below from GKIDS Films.
Pompo the Cinephile Trailer
Pompo the Cinephile marks the return of veteran animator, Hirao Takayuki, and brand-new animation studio, CLAP’s, feature debut. As a nerd who watches DVD extras, and a guy who uses his PTO to go PA on film sets, this film has got me hooked. Something about movies about making movies is the perfect blend of meta and pretentious that falls right into my niche. The film will release exclusively in select markets across the USA beginning April 29, 2022. Take a look at the list of theaters to see if the film is playing near you, tickets are available now.
