Pro-union films Sellers directed the pro-union film The New Disciple in 1921 produced by labor organization the Federal Film Corporation in Seattle. It was the most widely viewed labor film of the period, with an audience of more than one million people the year of its release. It was an anti-open shop film and an indictment of the American plan. Promotions for the film called for union members to "wait" on their film exchanges to show the film. Film production was supervised by John Arthur Nelson who wrote the story which was published at the same time as the film release.
