I fell into it. A friend had directed 2 SciFi Channel flicks and had landed a gig writing one for them (Gryphon.) He was completely blocked and against a deadline so he asked me to help. I wrote it with him in 4 days.

He continued to employ me as ghost writer for the other gigs as well. Fially the network decided to give me credit...and as fate would have it - sole credit on Gryphon.

If you want to get in with these guys, I'd go to the individual production companies that sub-contract the jobs from SciFi. UFO Films, Active Entertainment, Pliny Minor and a handful of others do the lion's share of these movies.
