=== Live Action TV ===
* ''[[Slings and Arrows]]'' has one of these every year. {{spoiler|The first two turn out well; the third one ends with the lead actor dying and everyone else involved in the production being fired}}.
* Part one of the ''[[Young Indiana Jones]]'' movie ''The Hollywood Follies'' revolves around Indy engaging in a battle of wits with [[Real Life]] primadonna director Erich von Stroheim over ''Foolish Wives''.
* Pretty much any of Vincent Chase's movies on ''[[Entourage]]'' (''Smokejumpers'', ''Aquaman'', ''Medellin''... pretty much all except ''Gatsby'') fall victim to this trope.
* The ''[[Community]]'' episode "[[Community/Recap/S3/E08 Documentary Filmmaking Redux|Documentary Filmmaking: Redux]]" depicts the Dean trying to film a 30-second ad for the college and slowly driving himself and all the other characters to madness. The episode is shot as Abed's documentary, which explicitly described as the ''Hearts of Darkness'' to the Dean's ''Apocalypse Now''.
 
=== Web Original ===
* The [[Stylistic Suck|crappy]] student film ''[[Marble Hornets]]'' was called off due to "unworkable conditions," with the director getting increasingly hysterical and paranoid. Later analysis would reveal that in this case, "unworkable conditions" means "driven to near-insanity by the constant presence of a [[Uncanny Valley|creepy]] [[Humanoid Abomination|guy]] [[The Blank|with no face]]."
