Mockumentary series Short Poppies takes us on a journey to meet the characters in small town New Zealand. Rhys Darby plays a myriad of diverse characters whose less than normal lives are uncovered by real life journalist David Farrier. Meet part time leg model and lifeguard Terry Pole, park ranger Bill Napier, senior citizen Mary Ledbetter as she wrestles with town issues and criticisms, artist and beauty Louise Cooper, ufologist Steve Whittle, and local lawyer Rhod Gainer. All the characters are played by Rhys Darby (Flight of the Conchords, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Yes Man) who cements himself as a comedic tour de force.
