Hey, everyone. I am your other host, Caitlin. And welcome to this super exciting episode that we have for you guys today. Yes, we're so excited. We are thrilled to welcome back to Sky Talkers. It has been two years. Annalise Ophelian, the director of the docu-series looking for Leah. Welcome to the show, Annalise. We're so happy you're back. I'm so happy to be back. Hello. Hello. How have you been doing? I've been doing so good. I'm really excited today. Like, after two years of doing the like, we're making this thing. It's coming soon. We're making this thing.

0:59.5

So yeah, I'm great. I'm so excited for you and everything. I think that hearing all this good news about the documentary and everything has been so good.

1:09.0

I mean, the first time we met you was back at Celebration in

2:07.9

all the people we've talked to and all the places that we've gone in those two years.

2:12.0

Yeah, sure.

2:12.6

But you're definitely, like, among the very first. And so that feels like a really nice, full,

2:17.1

complete circle. It's an

2:18.0

Odyssey. It's a journey that starts and ends in the same place, and yet you grow and develop
