It was funded by the Young Filmmaker Bicentennial Project Grant, launched in October 1974, as one of the seven films distributed, sponsored and produced by
USIA (the other six being
An American Tune,
Winter Count,
Came to Here From Over There,
Homespun,
The Strangers and
Apache Bill), who were so impressed by the film's animation to the point of ordering six prints of his other films including the
Student Academy Award-winning short
Euphoria. Its soundtrack is the
stock instrumental "So Much Alive" from the music library Valentino. ==See also==
