A major portion of the drawing was done under the influence of LSD and a variety of other hallucinogens. The drawing is almost wholly non-representational. The sound score is a chaotic mind-bending flow which matches the character of the visuals. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with UCLA Film & Television Archive in 2014.
