You Can't Make Movie Magic Without Cracking a Few Critics

Dear Canter Zoom,

‘Sup. It’s been awhile since we last spoke, hasn’t it? In fact, it’s been a few months since your niece got in trouble for swapping educational film reels for cute animal montages and was subsequently banned from the AV club for trying to kill everyone with concentrated cuteness.

Well, perhaps not that extreme, but three cute-induced heart attacks on school records is three too many. Four if I count a certain athlete that refused to admit she suffered one as it’s “totally uncool” of her to do so.

Anyway, I’m sure you’re wondering what kind of ulterior motive I have for contacting you out of the blue like this. To put it simply, there is none at all! ...Maybe a teensy tiny favor, but I’ll get to that later. First, I’d just like to let you know that your choice of setting for Saturday the 14th, Part XI: Coming Home for Homecoming almost got destroyed in real life by a crazed camp counselor.

Almost, because a handful of my students saved the day, possibly the world, and of course the campsite. Heck, they’re even in the midst of rebuilding, funding and refurbishing the grounds to make up for the damages caused in the chaos.

Now I’m not just bringing this up since I know you’ve got so much love and joy invested in that site for your beloved slasher films. I know how much care those girls are putting into your sequel fishing grounds, but I imagine they’re quite unknown to you at this time. Heck, the story of the camp being saved has only graced headlines in the city of Canterlot this week!

Getting to the point, the girls are pulling out the stops to save your thrilling, terrifying, hockey pants-wearing butcher of beauties. I don’t know about you, but I’m thinking these girls could use a day off somewhere I’m sure they’d love to visit, and there’s no place better that I can think of than your studio. I’m not saying you’re obligated to give them a tour or anything, but as your fellow Camp Everfree graduate that’s asking you for a little favor, I do implore you to consider giving these savior students the equivalent of my school’s hall pass.

You’re shooting a Daring Do film now, right? The girls would love being around that set. If you feel like being generous for a day, do let me know and I’ll help make the proper arrangements.

My Best Regards,

Principal Celestia

P.S. One of the girls is a not-a-heart-attack-victim, and she’s also a huge fan of Daring Do.

No, really, she’ll probably bother you for tickets to visit Yearling one day if you even give her a moment alone with your cellphone. If you don’t have it password-protected by now, you better change your mind about that.
