Finn Wolfhard recently opened about how he got his director’s debut in the 2023 movie The hell of a summer was no easy hold.
Conversation with PEOPLEThe 22-year-old Canadian actor and musician revealed that there were moments when he realized he was not taken seriously because of his age while working on his horror comedy Hell of a summer.
When he expressed his feelings, Wolfhard formulated: “It was a long process. I started writing this movie at 16 … and I don’t know how we got through it.”
He added, “That was the whole process, but we were lucky enough to have amazing people behind us and producers who really believed in us as filmmakers.”
The Stranger Things Star continued to admit that the whole process of making a movie was a great source of learning for him, and his young age relieved him rather than polluting his first experience.
Wolfhard explained, “being a teenager – and just having a door closed in your face over and over and over again – you just had this blind optimism or blind confidence because you don’t really see what the worst thing can happen is by sending a script to this person or sending a script to that person and trying to get your foot in the door.”
“I think in many ways to be young really helped. I’m only 22, it’s still very young, and even though I made a movie, I still expect to be treated as if I’m a younger person who doesn’t really know what they’re doing,” The Ghostbusters: Afterlife Alun noticed.
“But I’m at peace with proving it to people, though many times. I think it’s something that gets easier over time because it just becomes part of the process, and then slowly it goes away, I suppose as you get older,” he noticed.
Before it ends it is relevant to mention that The hell of a summer Was written and directed by Finn Wolfhard and Billy Bryk, which is about camp advisers trying to stay alive while a masked killer kills them one after the summer before the summer starts.
