Banger Films is a Canadian film and television production company, which specializes in films focusing on heavy metal music and culture.[1] The company was launched in 2004 by Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn to create and distribute their first film, Metal: A Headbanger's Journey.[1]
The company has since produced theatrical documentaries and television series, as well as live concert DVDs by rock and heavy metal musicians.[2]
In 2011, Banger Films started a YouTube channel, Bangertv.[citation needed] Most of the channel's content for the first 4 years of its existence were interviews and trailers of documentaries. Starting in 2015, Bangertv started making album reviews (including tag team/no beef reviews) and hosting weekly live streams.[citation needed] They have since also started a "Best of" series for certain years in the history of Heavy Metal. At this point, Bangertv has 246k subscribes.[citation needed]
The company's 2014 film Super Duper Alice Cooper won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Feature Length Documentary at the 3rd Canadian Screen Awards in 2015.[3]
