Director Thom Zimny discusses his intimate doc 'Springsteen on Broadway' and how he captured the emotion of Bruce Springsteen.
Thom Zimny discusses his intimate doc and reveals how he captured the"raw emotion" of the rocker's Broadway hit.
Director Thom Zimny has been working with Bruce Springsteen for nearly 20 years . "Bruce in the editing room has that same intensity that he has in the music studio," says Zimny, "which is really working on story and striving to find the best way to tell that story." But it's their most recent project, Netflix's intimate concert doc, that's been the director's favorite collaboration so far thanks to the personal nature of the film .
Filmed during two July 2018 performances of Springsteen's sold-out Broadway show, the doc was released Dec. 16 on Netflix, just as the show at the Walter Kerr Theatre closed for good, after earning north of $113 million during its 236-show run. "I think the first night of filming it threw him off rhythmically a little bit," says Zimny. "By the second night, he was used to the idea of the cameras.
Zimny captured Springsteen's songs and stories on a stripped-down stage, rarely showing the audience and instead bringing the cameras in very close to Springsteen's face. And he had to be ready for anything.
