Starting from June 29th, English sub-titled versions of "Pompo: The Cinephile" will be showing in selected Cinemas throughout Britain. English dubbed versions will be available from 30th June.
Pompo: The Cinéphile depicts the craft of movie-making and revolves around Joelle Davidovich "Pompo" Pomponette, a talented movie producer who looks like a girl.
Operating out of the movie capital "Nyallywood," Pompo has been shooting one B-grade entertainment flick after another that anyone would enjoy. One day, Pompo's "movie buff" assistant Gene spots a new script written by Pompo and is moved by its exquisite story. In a fit of passion, he proclaims, "I want to see this as a finished work in theaters as soon as possible!"
However, Pompo tells him, "So you shoot this film." Thus, Gene takes on his first directing gig. Meanwhile, Natalie, an ordinary girl who just arrived in town with movie actress dreams, has been discovered by Pompo …

I just saw the subbed version in Birmingham. Pompon is played by Konomi Kohara (Chika from Kaguya-sama: Love is War), and she's great fun to watch. My main complaint would be that the movie only seems to hit its stride in the last third , but it's never dull and finishes strongly.

Looks like there may have also been a run here, too. But I missed it, may never know how close a showing was.
