Lance Bangs is a filmmaker and music video director who did not get a traditional education for his career path. Michael Stipe from REM came across his work and invited to join a film production group in Athens, Georgia. Through this group he was able to begin his career by creating music videos and documentaries. He gained traction from his work and collaborated with several local bands that would visit Athens. Bangs has produced videos for bands such as Green Day, Nirvana, Death Cab for Cutie, Sonic Youth, and many more. He proclaims himself as an opportunist and loves to gain as much experience as he can with his work.
