[edit] Story description

A movie is being filmed in Sunnydale, and the Scooby Gang hope to get involved in the film's making. The filmmaker appears to some as an eccentric genius but may have an agenda.

[edit] Continuity

  • Supposed to be set in Buffy Season 3.

[edit] Canonical issues

Main article: Buffyverse canon
Buffy comics such as this one are not usually considered by fans as canonical. Some fans consider them stories from the imaginations of authors and artists, while other fans consider them as taking place in an alternative fictional reality. However unlike fan fiction, overviews summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as officially Buffy merchandise.
