Scott Smiley - LDS Filmmaker and Church Employee

Scott Smiley, an employee at the LDS church in the film department, was also a director and first assistant director on the film 127 Hours.  He took time off from his full time work at the LDS church to direct this film.  In our opinion, this is unacceptable. 

The following are unsensored (aplogies) outtakes and music from the film.  Truth in Mormon Media was in touch with David Nielson, the director of the LDS Motion Picture Studios.  David Neilson's only response was that the church doesn't monitor the outside work of church employees, and that we should not judge.  A similar communication with Elder Bednar, the eclesiastical leader of the Motion Picture Studio, has to date not been returned.
