Poppy (6min, 2004)

Billy's been waiting for Pop to come home all morning, so that they can go for a drive through the surrounding farmlands.

As Pop tells Billy about the crops they pass, his soft, wizened voice helps his grandson drift off to sleep.

Poppy is a gentle story that mixes sweet nostalgia with a lovely surreal twist. Beautifully shot with rich saturated colours and a wonderful handling of light, it really shows off the North-East Tasmanian landscape and reinforces the fact that Tasmania has a huge variety of unique locations for film making.
