Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGreg Poppa is a Philadelphia-based actor, filmmaker, and co-founder of Roaming Shadow Productions with nine years of creative experience blending writing, directing, and performance. He has appeared in high-profile productions like M. Night Shyamalan’s Servant and HBO’s Mind Over Murder, and his work on the indie short Weapons and Their Names helped it land a Sundance Film Festival nomination in 2023. As head writer and director at his company he develops character-driven stories—his upcoming western Taffy, Rita and the Rattlesnake highlights his taste for gritty, intimate storytelling. Greg also writes and directs his own short films (he made his directorial debut with Foxes), studies acting at HB Studio under Lisa Pelikan, and brings a multidisciplinary creative practice informed by music, sports, and game-development curiosity. Unusually for an actor, he contributes to open-source game code under the handle VerySoft, working on backend game logic for a Space Station 13-derived project, reflecting a hands-on technical curiosity that complements his cinematic craft.
