The Lane Brothers: Documenting A Movement - “Still Working 9 to 5”
Your conversation with Gary and Larry Lane unfolds as a powerful blend of storytelling, nostalgia, and purpose-driven filmmaking. As identical twin producers deeply rooted in the entertainment world, they shared the inspiration behind their documentary Still Working 9 to 5—a project born not just from admiration for the original film, but from a desire to capture the cultural and historical impact it created. What began as curiosity around why a sequel was never made evolved into something far more meaningful: an exploration of the real-life movement that inspired the film and continues to shape conversations around equality today.
Throughout the conversation, Gary and Larry highlight how the documentary bridges entertainment and education. By weaving together interviews with iconic stars and real-life activists, they intentionally “hide the medicine in the candy”—drawing viewers in with nostalgia and humor, then revealing the deeper truths about workplace inequality and the ongoing fight for women’s rights. Their storytelling approach mirrors the original9 to 5 film, using laughter as a gateway to open minds and hearts to more serious conversations.
A particularly moving element of the discussion is the emotional depth behind the project—from the haunting reimagined duet of the film’s iconic song to the privilege of capturing interviews with legendary figures before their passing. The brothers speak with genuine gratitude about the collaboration process and the unexpected moments that aligned along the way, reinforcing the idea that meaningful work often unfolds through both intention and timing. Their passion for preserving these stories is evident, especially as they look ahead to future releases and expanded versions of the documentary.
At its core, this conversation is about more than a film—it’s about legacy, progress, and the importance of continuing the conversation. Together, you explored how far society has come and how much further there is to go, emphasizing that true change requires both awareness and collective participation. By bringing humor, humanity, and history into one space, Gary and Larry have created not just a documentary, but a platform for reflection, education, and ongoing growth.
