I think it's just "who you know" and not "what" and "right place right
time"
I bet if we looked at the credits for all those Asylum Sci-Fi Saturday
movies we'd see all the same names.
It's like Rachel Talalay. She was an accountant and was working on the
Friday the 13th movies. She asked if she could write the next one and
they said "sure, who gives a shit about the scripts on these things."
The movie didn't collapse, so she asked if she could direct the next one
and they said "sure, who gives a shit about the direction on these
things." Next thing you know, she's got a pretty good career going as
one of the worst directors in Hollywood. She directed one of the BAD
episodes of FLASH GORDON if you can wrap your head around THAT concept.
