Graphics, sound and multimedia • speeding up booting time for video looper

hey everyone

i want to know if there's any way to speed up the booting time of a raspberry pi zero 2 w when booting so it plays a video on loop

i'm using the "pi_video_looper" (https://github.com/adafruit/pi_video_looper) because it's super easy to work on and i want to control the videos using the GPIO pins, but i want it to boot faster on a zero 2 w

right now it takes about 20 seconds to boot, that's too much
even in a raspberry 4 it takes about 8 seconds
is there a way to speed up this?
the thing is for a toy, so the fastest the better

i'm even looking at compiling my own linux wth buildroot but i have no idea what should i include for it to work, i just need video and audio going through the hdmi, so if someone could share any light into it i would appreciate it

thanks!
