Director Martina Radwan’s Perspective
Director Martina Radwan expressed gratitude for the opportunity to document the series, noting a full year on set and the privilege of watching the Duffer Brothers bring the show to life in real time.
Martina Radwan said:
> “I’m endlessly grateful to the Duffer Brothers for trusting me with a front-row seat to this incredible journey. Spending a full year on set with them was a true privilege-and an absolute thrill. Being able to get close and watching them bring this beloved show to life in real time, was pure joy.”
The Duffer Brothers on Behind-the-Scenes Storytelling
The Duffer Brothers reflected on their early aspirations and how behind-the-scenes documentaries inspired them to bring that storytelling back to audiences.
The Duffer Brothers said:
> “Growing up in Durham, North Carolina, we dreamed of becoming filmmakers-but Hollywood felt impossibly far away. Everything changed when we watched the behind-the-scenes documentaries for The Lord of the Rings-on-the-ground films that showed the real nuts and bolts of how a massive production actually gets made. We saw how stressed Peter Jackson was and thought: yep, that’s the dream. With the decline of physical media, that kind of behind-the-scenes storytelling has largely disappeared. We wanted to bring it back. One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things Season 5-beautifully captured and directed by Martina Radwan is our attempt to do just that. If you love Stranger Things, or if you’re simply curious how a major Hollywood production comes to life, this one’s for you.”
If the footage of the final table read doesn’t make you feel emotional, the Duffers calling “cut” on the very last shot just might.
