Bonnie 'Til Spring
Expecting a tranquil spring get-away, four friends spend a week at an Appalachian camping resort, but the good times soon turn sour as emotions build and communication breaks down. As they say, spring is the time of change; for better or for worse.

Born in Charleston West Virginia, Quinton Miller grew up playing make-believe and watching movies. Spending his high-school years exploring music and photography, he later grew to appreciate the combined and collaborative process of filmmaking. Bonnie marks his second foray into scripted filmmaking.
What compelled me to make 'Bonnie 'Til Spring', was as brief story told to me by a friend and frequent collaborator, Madilen Nutter. This story was about a puppet that her mother had made for her as a child. This puppet had a name, it was Bonnie, and she had been in the family since Madilen's childhood. Over the years, it had taken on life; life that needed to be seen and explored. So I gathered my friends, and set off to tell the Appalachian story of a puppet named Bonnie.
