Finn Wolfhard, who rose to fame with the iconic role of Mike Wheeler in Stranger Things, will make his directorial debut this year. At age 20, Wolfhard admitted he encountered some doubts from financiers. He explained, “I’m incredibly proud of it, but it was a crazy thing. We’d like to let the film speak for itself. I don’t think age defines filmmaking in any way. I think everyone has stories to tell, and if you have the chance to do it, then do it.”
Wolfhard co-wrote and co-directed the film with Billy Bryk. In addition to writing and directing, Wolfhard and Bryk will star in the film as well. The film Hell of a Summer is a horror movie inspired by the Friday the 13th franchise. According to the official synopsis, “Hell of a Summer centers on 24-year-old camp counselor Jason Hochberg (Hechinger), who arrives at Camp Pineway thinking his biggest problem is that he feels out of touch with his teenage co-workers. What he doesn’t know is that a masked killer is lurking on the campgrounds, brutally picking counselors off one by one.”
