'Poppy' is Linda’s first feature film. As well as writing nine feature scripts, which she is currently pitching, Linda has written and directed four short films and a range of promotional videos. Two of her shorts have screened at festivals in New Zealand and the US. Her co-written feature film 'Second-Hand Wedding' was a breakout success in New Zealand making it into the Top 10 New Zealand films at the box office. Her eye (and ear) for detail, visual style and elegance, and witty juxtaposition and emotional metaphor is evident in her writing and directing. She has published two collections of short stories and her writing has been broadcast and widely anthologised. Her recent work focuses on female protagonists and 'Poppy' is one such story.
