11:45 p.m.

The Canadian Backwoods

"I'm not doing it,"

"Manny, come on," the camera slightly shook on the scantily clad brunette girl.

"No, this is bullshit!" the brunette protested.

"Bullshit? The guy wants to show a little skin in his movie. Ain't nothin' wrong with that." A voice off camera said.

"Shut up Jay!" the brunette shouted to the person. "Look," the girl turned to the camera. "I'm not doing it, end of story."

"Manny, that's how the scene goes. You run, Spinner grabs your top, it falls off just slightly, and then you slide it right back onto your shoulders." The camera man explained.

"Peter, in all of your movies this crap happens to me. Somehow my dress, or my shirt ends up coming off; and I'm sick of it."

"It's called sex appeal,"

"And you have a sweet rack," the Jay guy added. Manny rolled her eyes.

"I think I should have a say in this," a red-haired girl stepped in front of the camera with her hand raised.

"Thank you Ellie, a woman's perspective," Manny said, relieved that someone was on her side.

"No, not this again." Jay sighed, steeping into the camera facing Ellie. "This whole women empowerment thing is getting lame. Every time you two get together there's always something demeaning, or inappropriate about the script. God, it's a fucking Rated-R horror flick."

"Okay. I get that, but as co-producer I think Manny should at least get through the sequel without her top being pulled off by the antagonist." Ellie defended.

"Thank you," came Manny.

"Can we just decide on something already! I'm freezing my ass off out here." A guy wearing an orange jump suit complained. He was shivering next to Manny.

"Well Spinner, we probably could if you're friend here wasn't being an ass!" Ellie indicated to Jay.

"Oh well, I'm sure Peter here could actually finish a movie if the only two girls involved in production would stop being annoying cunts!" Jay sarcastically said to Ellie.

Soon, he was taking a loud variety of insults from Ellie and Manny; and for some reason Spinner had joined in as well. Jay held his own, however; yelling back comments at them too.

The constant bickering had obviously taken a toll on the director; the camera lowered a bit and a solemn sigh could be heard from the boy holding it.

"WILL YOU ALL JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!" he shouted, his voice level higher than the others, rage easily detected.

The others did as Peter ordered; all of them looked immediately to the camera, shocked expressions on their faces.

"The reason we don't get any work done is because all, and I repeat, ALL of you become winey little bitches."

Offended looks swarmed around the group of kids.

"Now Manny, if you have a problem with the script, bring the issue to me beforehand; not while in production. Jay, if you have a problem with my assistants…leave or get over it. I'm trying to make a fucking movie, if anyone has a problem with that let me know now."

The forest was silent.

Spinner, Manny, Ellie and Jay stood there, bewildered.

Changed Camera Angle

"Wow," camera man 2 laughed. He had his camera set on all five teens. "Peter grew some balls."

Note: If you haven't figured it out, or haven't seen the actually movie, this is a nod to George A. Romero's "Diary of the Dead" with a little Degrassi thrown in for fun. If you've seen the movie, or are just interested to see where this is going, review! Tell me what you think and how I'm doing so far.
