POPPA is a stylish, compact rollercoaster of a micro-short from director Peter Ahren, packed with jolts of humor, horror, and surprise.

After an unlucky guy accidentally swallows a piece of bubble gum, he finds himself in a truly sticky situation… and what happens next goes places you absolutely don’t expect. Crafted in a 2D, hand-drawn style with an intentionally traditional production approach, POPPA is short and sweet, and violently hilarious.

Fair warning: it may surprise you… and it may disgust you too.
A micro nightmare that you will never get over.
