“Stick Season is a colloquialism in Vermont and greater New England, about that time of the year where it’s between the peak foliage and the first snow, and there’s all the leaves are off the trees and it’s kind of a depressing time of transition. And it’s a term that I felt like was really cool to navigate in the frame of a relationship, as well as in the frame of where I grew up in New Hampshire and Vermont, the idea that things are hard and ugly and eventually, the beauty will come, winter will come and spring will come, but there’s that time that you have to get through.”
