Sonoma
"I relocated to the Redwoods of Sonoma County upon graduation and in that relocation process the animation for Sonoma began.

The deep personal meaning relates to the 'relocation' that was occurring within my own being after having done 2½ terms of active combat in the jungle as a carrier enlisted with the 82nd Airborne Division of the Army" -D. Pies. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2012.
