Haha, no "making-of" this time.

Oh, bummer about the focus struggle. Kit lenses are not great! One came with my camera but it took quite a while (and some comments from the Pentax forum) for me to figure out that it wasn't great at focusing on small areas. I'm sure there are how-to's about that stuff... you can DIY just about everything thanks to the School of Youtube these days. Or maybe advice from a camera forum where someone could talk you through it? Bummer that you can't mail or drop off a lens to a shop even if people aren't allowed in -- they should let that much happen.
I use a 50mm most of the time. For such a tiny focus point I would stick a piece of paper or something with clear markings in the shot in the same plane as the face or other desired focus point, and do test shots focusing manually.
