Movies about making a movie

REQUESTING

I love films that follow this theme but most of the ones I have seen that follow this are japanese films like Pompo the Cinephile, It's A Summer Film! and Why Don’t You Play in Hell?.

I guess some western ones i've seen would be something like Me and Earl and the Dying Girl.

recommendations are appreciated :)

Living in Oblivion - 1995

Independent film director Nick Reve (Steve Buscemi) is making his first feature. Everything that can go wrong does: the rebellious catering crew refuses to replace spoiled milk, his actors are flaky and getting an unspoiled take is nearly impossible. Tension between lead actress Nicole (Catherine Keener) and actor Chad (James LeGros), who have just slept together, contributes to the many problems on set. As money and time run out, Nick struggles to complete his film.

If you’re up for subtitles, try Day For Night by Truffaut.
