Storm's WYWH film




Ten years ago, Storm Thorgerson Produced & Directed an internet-only film to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Floyd's album Wish You Were Here. At the time, I worried that it would soon be removed from the host web pages & we would lose it entirely. Happily, however, some enterprising young souls found a means of capturing it for posterity. Everyone (hopefully) has a little gem in their collection that they go back to over and over - and this one is mine. I am an unabashed Storm Thorgerson fan. I've often said that if I could meet any member of Pink Floyd, I would pick Storm Thorgerson. That dream came true one fair evening in 2007. He gave me a nice smile and several kind words.
If you download nothing else from this blog, please download this one. It comes with a small .txt file which explains what you need to do to get the film to play. Anyone still in need of help, please leave a comment & I'll do what I can.
