Spring Interlude

Film is a way that I can bridge a gap between myself and other people. It's an extension of myself.

I hope it feels like the film was made effortlessly...like it just appeared out of thin air.

That's bold, dude.

– Lily (Hannah Herchenbach) after hearing that Alex invited a stranger to stay over

Most of the pointless things I say are to my loved ones.

– Opening quote from the film

All I've got is in my backpack.

– The backpacker (Luke Agnew) expresses envy at Alex's digs

...I've been living in Auckland. But that's not where I'm from. I'm kind of from all around I suppose.

– The backpacker (Luke Agnew)

I just need a bit of floor or something . . . I promise I'm not some weirdo.

– The backpacker (Luke Agnew) after Alex offers him a place to sleep

You sound good, but I think you're full of bullshit.

I kinda like being alone though you know. I just bought a new single duvet...

– Alex (Alayne Dick) responds to the backpacker's questions about her recent breakup
