GKIDS ACQUIRES NORTH AMERICAN RIGHTS TO “POMPO THE CINEPHILE”
GKIDS announced today it has acquired all North American distribution rights for the stylish ode to filmmaking, POMPO THE CINEPHILE (Eiga Daisuki Pompo-san). Known for his dynamic, maximalist animation sequences, Director Takayuki Hirao (“God Eater,” The Garden of Sinners) returns to the director’s chair with production from the all-new studio CLAP. GKIDS will release POMPO THE CINEPHILE theatrically in an all-new English dubbed version early next year.
Synopsis:
Pompo is a talented and gutsy producer in “Nyallywood,” the movie-making capital of the world. Although she’s known for B-movies, one day Pompo tells her movie-loving but apprehensive assistant Gene that he will direct her next script: a delicate drama about an aging and tormented creative genius, starring the legendary and Brando-esque actor Martin Braddock, and a young actress seeking her first break. But when the production heads towards chaos, can Gene rise to Pompo’s challenge, and succeed as a first-time director?
