A new feature-length documentary film about long-time Pink Floyd sleeve designer Storm Thorgerson is nearly complete, and the filmmaker is looking for funding.
New York filmmaker Roddy Bogawa is the man behind “Taken by Storm,” a 90-minute film looking at the prolific career of Thorgerson, who helped create nearly every Floyd album cover, as well as countless iconic covers from some of the world’s biggest bands.
Floyd’s David Gilmour and Nick Mason are two of many musicians who appear in the film, along with photographers, illustrators and assistants who’ve helped execute the work from the days of Thorgerson’s early studio Hipgnosis to his new company, StormStudios.
Thorgerson has granted Bogawa access to his personal archives so the film promises a bevy of never-before-seen workparts.
Bogawa has established a page at Kickstarter to raise money to complete his project. Pledge amounts as low as $25 can get you some swag in return. If you have larger amounts to spend, some of the rewards are quite impressive. (Ever fancied yourself an Associate Producer? With $3,500, consider it done.)
Visit “Taken by Storm” at Kickstarter or visit the film’s official site.
