It’s Poppin’

A young kid who is afraid of moving to a new city finds herself at a rest stop talking to a blue balloon that is afraid of being let go. Together they find the courage to embrace the unknown and face what’s to come.

It’s Poppin’ was written by Steven San Luis and is directed by Maureen Azzun.
