Poppy's deep love for movies dates back to childhood. She began her artistic journey as a surreal portrait photographer and collage maker before entering the world of film. In 2019, Poppy made her directorial debut with the music video for Crumble Boy's "Or Grow." Three years later, she directed a twenty-three-minute dark comedy short titled "A Stop Along the Way." She continues to explore film narratives, with her most recent horror short, "The Herp," premiered in 2023. Poppy currently resides in Philadelphia with her husband (who scores all her films) and their two cats.
