I wish I had checked here before I first started working with Mary Aloe. I worked with her on a movie project. My experience with her has been nothing short of a nightmare. My sense is Mary has no ethical or moral filters at all. She will say anything at all - no matter how distorted or cruel - to get what she wants. She makes big promises to get people to do her bidding, and then nothing ever materializes. When the promises stop working, she resorts to ugly threats, screaming and the crudest kind of manipulation. She doesn't listen and routinely shouts people down. After having tried several methods of dealing with her insanity, I concluded that it is impossible to get through to her. Many times I witnessed her lie to people about their collaborators, creating a climate of suspicion and distrust. You know somebody is dealing badly when they insist that no one on a project talk to anyone else on the project. This is Mary's standard operating procedure. She has so many lies going around that she can't let any of the people she works with talk alone lest they compare notes. I just wonder how Mary manages to keep going. Eventually all the lies and insanity have to catch up with you.
