Ever wondered how Scientology manages to maintain a culture of silence? This episode is a deep dive into the world of Scientology as we analyze their training film, Confessional TRs. We pull back the curtain on the ideologies propagated through such films, highlighting the unwritten code that discourages Scientologists from reporting fellow members' criminal activities.

We'll also explore the technical aspects of making Scientology films. Join us as we recount our experiences working with Hollywood makeup artist, Michael Westmore, on the set of Confessional TRs, and the unique challenges we faced due to the intense shooting conditions at Valencia Studios near Sable Ranch. Hear intriguing behind-the-scenes stories, from flame elements in every shot to Kelly Daniels and Denise Duff, two actresses who left an indelible mark on many of our productions.

Lastly, we'll examine other Scientology-related films like recommendations Orpheus and Angel Heart and how their narratives echo the same doctrine of silence. We invite you to share your thoughts and experiences, and suggest topics that you want us to tackle in the future. Step into the enigmatic world of Scientology filmmaking, where the lines between reality and indoctrination blur. This is a conversation you don't want to miss!
