I talk about what it "might" be like to kiss another actor on set as I have a scene coming up in the movie, Foxglove Candy, where I am not a nice fellow.

And during our terminology segment, I talk about a few terms that deal with camera focus.

Along with that, I also introduce a new, local film, The Club: Beginnings. A Skyward Productions short.
