Merci, Poppy

Cy is the kind of boss who expects his Klonopin hand-delivered, his sandwiches prepared with vegan mayo, and for his assistant Poppy to know these things like the back of her hand. After an aforementioned Klony hand-off at Cy’s beach house, Poppy joins Cy and his neighbors for an impromptu cocktail hour. She confesses that she’s dissatisfied with her life, humiliating Cyrus in front of his fancy friends, and forcing a conversation about a promotion that’s been caught in her throat. Merci, Poppy begs the question: how much are we willing to risk to get what we truly want, and what are we willing to tolerate along the way to get there? (HollyShorts Film Festival)
