But she also wanted to delve into the brothers’ creative process and how it evolved as “Stranger Things” grew into the era-defining hit of the Netflix age. “Because often, especially with a show that’s that big, that gets left out,” Radwan says.

Key Highlights

  • “That it’s still a very creative process, and still a very collaborative process.” Popular on Variety Radwan moved to New York City from Germany in the mid-1990s, and most of her work has been as a cinematographer.
  • She won an Emmy in 2024 as the director of photography on the documentary “Girls State,” and in 2023, she directed her first documentary feature, “Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow.” She was hired to direct “One Last Adventure” in summer 2023, several months before production began on “Stranger Things 5″ and began working on the documentary that fall; the dual strikes had finally ended, and production could finally get underway.
  • Radwan was already a fan of the show, but in order to prepare, she re-watched it and read everything she could about the Duffer brothers.
  • “And that’s when it became clear — the scope has grown so much,” she says.
  • “And yet, at the heart of it, it’s still ‘Stranger Things.’” By the end of 2023, Radwan moved to Atlanta to embed herself into production on the show’s final season, and went to set, she says, every day.
