About
In 2004, Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn founded Banger Films Inc in Toronto, Canada. Their first film, Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2005, screened at dozens of film festivals around the world and was released in over 30 countries. Metal also garnered Scot and Sam a Gemini Award for Best Writing in a Documentary Program and several film festival audience choice awards. Their follow-up, Global Metal, has received critical acclaim from press and audiences in Canada, Japan and Australia and is slated for release in other territories in 2009. Banger’s third film, Iron Maiden: Flight 666, follows heavy metal legends Iron Maiden on a whirlwind global tour in their private Boeing 757, Ed Force One, and will be released on international “Maiden Day,” April 21, 2009. Scot and Sam are currently in production on a feature documentary on Canada’s biggest rock band, Rush, and have several film and TV projects in development.
