Episode 24 - ”The Visit” Let’s Revisit The Short Film

In 2016 I created a very short film called "The Visit". It was just a fun little project I did with my daughter Skyler, and then posted on my channel. Since barely anyone saw it at the time, I thought I would repost the video and this time include audio description. This is the audio from that video. I hope you enjoy it!
