MORE ABOUT THE FILM
Roddy Bogowa’s film started over a dinner conversation with musician Chris Brokaw who mentioned he had visited a friend who worked with Storm Thorgerson, and mentioned that Thorgerson was still designing album covers. Intrigued by his idiosyncratic method of building props and shipping them to exotic locations or staging large events for a singular image in light of computer technology, Bogawa saw a parallel to his own artistic practice of shooting in 16mm film amidst the digital onslaught. Thus began two and a half years of documenting Thorgerson staging and shooting LP covers and various gallery exhibitions and lectures; a deep friendship between Bogawa and Thorgerson before his untimely death in 2013 (on Record Store Day!); and a powerful journey exploring Thorgerson’s creative processes and iconic imagery.
