Although Joss Whedon wrote the 1992 Buffy the Vampire Slayer film, it is not considered canonical to the TV series. Whedon was not satisfied with the film and as such based the series on his original script. A three-part comic titled The Origin adapted the script, blending it with the series. Despite taking issues with a few aspects, Whedon has endorsed the The Origin as canon.
