| 0:00.0 | You're probably wondering right now how a guy who wears the exact same outfit every single |
| 0:05.9 | time he does an interview for the sake of editing and continuity was allowed to do an interview |
| 0:11.1 | for a film that takes place in the fashion industry. And truthfully, the answer is it's really |
| 0:18.6 | just a mystery. Howdy, I'm Jeff Goldsmith, and this is the Q&A. |
| 0:22.5 | My agenda is simple. |
| 0:23.8 | Each week I plan to bring you in-depth insight into the creative process of storytelling. |
