34-year-old brothers who created 'Stranger Things' got rejected by over 15 networks before Netflix

Matt and Ross Duffer, the twin brothers behind hit sci-fi series "Stranger Things," wanted to be filmmakers since they were in elementary school, but that dream hit a snag when the Duffers received rejection letters from all their top choices for film school. Then, after they came up with the idea for "Stranger Things," they were rejected over a dozen times before landing on Netflix. The Duffer brothers, now 34, are the creative minds writing and directing one of Netflix's most hyped shows.
