Director Biography - J. Poisson

Rhode Island native J. Poisson has always had a strong passion for film. As a child, her favorite thing to do was go to the movies. One such childhood movie, Explorers (1985), caught J's imagination so much she thought that she and her kindergardner friends, like the characters in the movie, where going to build a spaceship and explore space. To say the least, fantasy and reality had to be explained to J. about her interstellar ambitions.

With a firm grasp on a reality J. continued to be fascinated with film all the way into adulthood. All the career choices she had thought of from being a lawyer to a metrologist to an astronaut were influenced by cinema. She finally decided to take the leap of faith and become a filmmaker.
