needessentials - Spaces in Between - a surfing and cycling journey across Aotearoa New Zealand

With no previous cycling experience, Johanna Brebner sets out to bike the length of her childhood home, Aotearoa New Zealand, with a surfboard in tow. Returning after a decade away, she packs her life onto a bike and travels more than 2,000 kilometres across the country in search of reconnection and a few waves along the way. Produced by needessentials, Spaces in Between is a feature documentary that follows Johanna on a surfing and cycling journey across Aotearoa New Zealand. It is a portrait of slow travel: of challenge, endurance, new friendships, and the exhilaration of landscape. Beyond the pursuit of waves, the film explores what it means to experience a place over time, revealing the stories, connections, and moments that emerge in the spaces in between.

By not producing print advertising, swing tags, packaging and sale promotion materials we can instead invest in adventures, surfers, filmmaking and musicians to make films that contribute to culture and foster the arts rather than producing unnecessary landfill. https://needessentials.com/pages/about needessentials would like to thank the ongoing support of our customers - without you these https://needessentials.com/pages/films would not be possible.
