LOS ANGELES, CA.- Syd and Pink Floyd crystallized a cultural moment where anything seemed possible but where that freedom could come with a cost. Was Syd just another drug casualty? Did he suffer from an undiagnosed mental condition? Or did he dislike the attention and fame as the fun turned to work? While there are no clear answers which might be the case, there is the feeling by all those around Syd that something went terribly wrong. Have You Got it Yet? is a chronicle and a mosaic of Barrett’s creative and destructive impulses, his captivating presence and absence - a portrait of the complex puzzle that was his life.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Roddy Bogawa (Taken By Storm: The Art of Storm Thorgerson and Hipgnosis) and the late, acclaimed cover designer Storm Thorgerson (Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney, Black Sabbath)

Featuring interviews with David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Roger Waters, original band managers Peter Jenner and Andrew King, as well as The Who’s Pete Townshend and Blur’s Graham Coxon among others

Abramorama to distribute the film globally.

• Produced by Orian Williams, Rupert Truman and Roddy Bogawa

• Executive Produced by Alice Webb, Geoff Kempin, Paul Loasby, Liz Silver and Luke Thornton

• Narrated by Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter, The Patriot)

“What the Floyd did, what Syd did, somehow at those few gigs they did in London is that they defined the whole of that moment in the ‘60s.” – Pete Townshend (The Who)

“Syd Barrett's music, both with Pink Floyd and as a solo artist, changed everything in pop culture.” – Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth)

“Riveting, poignant, tender, moving and tragic but ultimately inspiring.” – John Squire (The Stone Roses)
