I'm bugging out right now, friends.
I started watching earlier this week and then started getting texts and seeing facebook posts from all these kids I grew up with.
The guys that created this show, wrote it, directed it, etc, are two twin brothers that I grew up with. Matt and Ross Duffer. They've been making movies since 3rd or 4th grade, and they were always using camcorders and doing little homemade movies for as long as I can remember.
After we graduated high school in 2003 I fell out of touch with them, but I knew they were so passionate about wanting to be directors, I was always surprised they never made it...
I guess they finally did.
Durham, NC, represent! We have some talent down here in the south.
