Thank you to everyone who posted photos and videos of Sonny, I couldn't have made this without you. Being that Sonny was a cinematographer and not in front of the camera all that much it was an interesting experience putting this short together but I hope you enjoy.

***This documentary is built upon the legal principles of transformative use and fair use. Rather than simply reproducing existing material, the film uses it to create a new and distinct narrative for the purpose of criticism, commentary, and historical analysis. This approach fundamentally alters the original context and meaning, adding new insights and a different character. By recontextualizing the content, the documentary falls within the framework of fair use, a legal doctrine that protects freedom of expression by allowing limited use of copyrighted material for purposes such as criticism and commentary.
