No Celebrities Were Harmed |
| | Film, Film, Film (Animation) / int_1282bf4f |
comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: The director in the short looks suspiciously like Sergei Eisenstein (even if Khitruk himself says that the director was modeled after another person), and the movie they're filming looks too much like a certain historical flick set in medieval Russia. |

I Need a Freaking Drink: After they get management approval, but before going to the biggest boss, the writer offers a bottle of Validol pillsnote An anxiolytic drug often used to relieve chest pains. and the director downs it. |

Never Work with Children or Animals: invoked The animals aren't a problem, except that the animal handlers accidentally bring a lion instead of a cow. The little girl seems to have been the biggest challenge during the production. |

Camera Tricks: The cameraman is quite fond of these. The first time we see him, he is filming a fishbowl while upside down. Later, we see him filming a horse chase, while being right under the stampede. |

comment |
Driven to Suicide: The screenwriter, when we first see him, is fantasizing about hanging himself, imagining his cigarette smoke as a noose. During the film's premiere, he repeatedly tries to jump out the nearest window and is dragged back in by other members of the crew. |

Development Hell: In-universe. Mainly, preproduction hell. A lot of managers have to approve the script, and the director and the writer rewrite it several times. This involves throwing several pages in a trash bin, then retrieving them two managers later. |
