So I was recently alerted of this interview and came across a post from a blogger named Tom Lucier from Windsor, Ontario where recently, Sam and Scott took part in some Q and A as part of the annual Windsor International Film Festival. Here’s what the festival had to say about the lads:

Filmmakers Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn in attendance

It’s already been five years since filmmakers Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn, WIFF’s first set of guests at its inaugural festival, were here to debut their much acclaimed documentary Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey. It was a helluva good time for all involved — for the audience, for them, and for WIFF — setting a successful and encouraging precedent for us to further develop a festival program centred on the experience of direct audience interaction with Canadian film industry professionals.

To mark our fifth kick at the film can, we’ve invited Sam and Scot back to Windsor to discuss what they’ve been up to since the influential Metal hit big — a worldwide fan favourite which spun off other great films like Heavy Metal in Baghdad and Anvil! The Story of Anvil. They followed it up with the ambitious and far-reaching Global Metal (2008) and amazing Iron Maiden: Flight 666 (2009), and just wrapped up the hotly-awaited doc on Rush, the heavy Canadian prog-rock giants. They are also working on a VH1 series currently under development.

As part of their night in Windsor, they’ll be showing some choice clips and sneak peeks to accompany what promises to be a lively discussion filled with fascinating anecdotes and informative insights. Metal fan or not, don’t miss this rare opportunity to engage with two of Canada’s (and the world’s) most promising and prolific music documentary filmmakers.

Anyhow, Sam and Scot gave a super candid and hilarious interview with Tom which he recorded and posted on his blog. See who can be the first person to leave a comment here telling me how Scot described one of the meanings of the word ‘Banger’ from Banger Films.
