Finn Wolfhard credits *Stranger Things* for filmmaking lessons

Finn Wolfhard and Billy Bryk co-directed the horror-comedy film *Hell of a Summer*, set to release in theaters on April 4. The film features a masked killer targeting summer camp counselors and follows their experiences as young actors. Wolfhard credits his time on *Stranger Things* for valuable filmmaking lessons, despite the budget differences. He and Bryk began working on the script in 2019, inspired by their shared love of teen comedies and slasher films. The duo is also developing a reboot of the 1999 film *Idle Hands*, with producers Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan. They believe the original concept deserves a fresh take in the horror-comedy genre.
