“There were a lot of creative cooks in the kitchen, which sometimes can be a challenge, but on this one I think it gelled really well.”

Our sound was called out, we were thankfully called out. I think the best feeling was seeing that every box was ticked. “The coolest thing was that we were Emmy nominated across the board.

Boonstra and Martinez have both scored their first Emmy nomination for Best Nonfiction Picture Editing. The doc also shows their later efforts as prominent songwriters. The documentary shows them getting their start and scoring hits beginning in the mid-1960s and then becoming undeniable parts of pop culture with their starring role on the “Saturday Night Fever” soundtrack. “The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,” which available to stream on HBO Max, chronicles the history of the band comprised of three brothers: Barry Gibb along with Maurice and Robin. “We have different questions we want answered than maybe when they were alive, so some of the stuff that they hadn’t used, those interviews were just new ground for us to cover.” This proved to be very useful in answering several questions they had as the filmmaking process went on. “There’s a previously made Bee Gees documentary called, ‘In Our Own Time.’ We really leaned on those interviews pretty, pretty heavily,” Martinez tells us during our recent webchat ( watch the video above).
