IRON MAIDEN: Fan Videos From Current Tour Wanted For Official Documentary

April 11, 2008

Directors Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn of Banger Films Inc. creators of the critically acclaimed, award-winning documentary "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" and its soon-to-be-released follow-up "Global Metal" are looking for fans' "home videos" for possible use in the upcoming IRON MAIDEN documentary that follows the band's current "Somewhere Back in Time" tour. "MAIDEN fans are invited to submit videos of their own experience of the first leg of the tour for potential use in the film," reads a posting on the band's web site. "So if you captured the excitement of Ed Force One landing, fan mayhem at the airport, camping or lining up outside the venues on your cell phone, camera or video camera, please upload your clips to our special YouTube group 'Somewhere Back in Time Fan Videos.' (Please note we are NOT looking for any fan footage of the concert performances.) Directors Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn will review all videos. If selected, fans will be contacted with further details. Deadline for submissions: May 1, 2008. Go to this location to upload your video."

For the official tour documentary, Scot and Sam are following the band in the air and on the stage, giving fans behind-the-scenes and front-and-center access to one of the most-talked-about metal tours of 2008.

IRON MAIDEN manager Rod Smallwood previously stated, "This [is] such an incredible and exciting tour that we agreed with Scot and Sam's proposal to document this so if you see cameras following us around everywhere and around the stage you now know why!! A record of this is something that the band and myself would love to have and we are feel that many of you fans may feel hopefully feel the same there has never been a tour quite like this before!"

Dunn was interviewed in February 2008 by Andrew Haug of Triple J's "Full Metal Racket" (based in Australia). Download the 16-minute audio file in MP3 format at this location (7 MB).
