Production of "The Profit"

September 27, 2000

Scientologists are upset with the production of a shot in the Tampa, Florida area by Peter Alexander and Patricia Greenway of Courage Productions.

 

 

Mary DeMoss and members of The Foundation for Religious Tolerance picketed the set, handed out Dead-Agent Packs (smear material) and investigated and visited the homes of crew members working on the film.

Six days before shooting was to be finished on the movie, I.A.T.S.E. (The International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees) shut the set down with an illegal picket.  

Did Scientology exert pressure on the union to shut the film down?  The answer is not yet clear but for weeks prior to the Union strike, the Scientologists picketed the set.  When the union picket began, the Scientologists stopped their overt efforts.

The film has since been seen theatrically in Clearwater and has an official website.
