Inch Forward

Kiriko Kojima wants to direct a road movie. She shares her vision with the crew while scouting locations, but her aspirations don't fit the budget or schedule. Kiriko can't explain her ideas to the cast and crew, which the producer constantly points out. She steals away to the seaside to scout locations but screws up the car along the way. That night, her pregnant roommate's water breaks while they are out searching for their lost cat. Kiriko is plagued by troubles, and then she blows the meeting with her producer and lead actress the next morning. Without a lead actress or money to fix the car, she considers realistic ways to make the shoot happen.
