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.

Great, thanks! :)
Anything to get my foot in the door. When you did those scripts, did you write as if someone of say, Ridley Scott caliber was going to read it, even though you knew it was going to get ripped apart and made into amudpie by some hack? Basically, always pour yourself into it, or did you just treat it as a paycheck?
