Eiga Daisuki Pompo-san

Pompo is a gifted producer known for making short, flashy entertainment, while her assistant Gene Fini quietly dreams about filmmaking from behind the scenes. Then Pompo hands him a serious screenplay about a composer's life and announces that he will direct it himself. Gene throws everything into the opportunity, gathering a cast and crew before discovering that imagining a great film is far easier than building one under deadlines, budgets, and the ruthless demands of editing. Every minute he keeps means sacrificing another, and every creative choice tests how much of himself he is willing to give the project. To finish the film he sees in his head, Gene must learn both when to protect a scene and when to cut it away.
