Joelle Davidovich Pomponette (Pompo-san), a talented film producer at the movie capital "Nyallywood," wants to rise above the lower-tier movies she's currently been making in this anime feature.
Despite her prowess to see through to the potential of actors and staff and bring out their talent to the fullest, she has only been producing B-class action and erotic films. One day, Pompo's "film-worm" assistant Gene, who has been doubtful of her choices of film genres, is given the task to direct a film based on a script written by her. Will Gene be able to bring Pompo's "masterpiece" to fruition?

Where to watch Pompo: The Cinéphile
Nerdier than the average film nerd might suspect, this enjoyably cheeky ode to cinema applies anime-powered hyper-exaggeration to every facet of moviemaking. Even the more mundane aspects like the editor's room and funding pitches are given the superhero treatment. Might also have the best final line of dialogue of 2022.
