Banger Films Official Blog

Honestly I can’t really say. It’s been balls out travelling and interviews for Metal Evolution ever since the Rush release and Traverse City screenings. I’m sure (given the handful of you that might stumble across this post) some of you may have bumped into some of the Banger crew around the globe. It would be great to have some more interaction here. Tell us where you may have been when you caught a glimpse of the ever elusive Mr Dunn, or Mr Mcfadyen. Perhaps you ran into señor Hawkes or Madamme Mauro . A few places where you have have caught wind of the team might have been New York, Toronto, Germany, France, Slovenia, Norway and a shitload of other countries on route. That’s just in the last couple months… It is simply mind numbing how much traveling these guys do and how hard the whole team works.

Okay back to Rush, I don’t give these guys nearly enough props but the folks over at Rush is a Band do remarkable work. Their research and sometimes ‘early news’ is not found anywhere else online.

This funny ‘Rush fan VS Kiss fan‘ post with some hilarious fan quotes drifted through my news filter. Some of us humans are quite emotionally charged about certain music personalities hey..

Yep. Sam Dunn and Scot McFadyen from Banger Films will appear on a discussion panel with Michael Moore at the Traverse City Film Festival in support of the recently released Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage documentary. The fellows will also be on hand for a post screening Q&A immediately following the 2 screenings of Beyond the Lighted Stage;

6th Annual Traverse City Film Festival

SATURDAY, JULY 31
“Here Comes Trouble: Eight Documentary Filmmakers Tell Us How They Did It and Lived to Tell”
It’s our annual documentary smack down, during which Michael Moore will get some of TCFF10?s great nonfiction filmmakers to tell stories that will make the local NPR station wish they hadn’t agreed to broadcast the panels! This year’s doc-makers will discuss how they make their films happen “by any means necessary,” bringing in stories from the field that will delight, amuse, shock and inspire. Panelists may include Jeff Deutchman (“11/4/08?), Neil Diamond (“Reel Injun”), Sam Dunn and Scot McFadyen (“Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage”), Judith Ehrlich and Rick Goldsmith (“The Most Dangerous Man in America”), Josh Fox (“GasLand”), Mark Lewis (“Cane Toads: The Conquest”), Nicolas Rossier (“American Radical”), Lee Storey (“Smile ‘Til It Hurts: The Up with People Story”) and Michael Webber (“The Elephant in the Living Room”).
