You know, films from Asylum can be pretty hit and miss. In spite of that, I do have to admire the fact they keep going and can get things made. But, some time back, someone I know (not naming names) had an encounter with them that makes it seem like the company suffers from the old "the left hand doesn't know what the right one is doing" syndrome. This person has done film work for some time, and contacted the Asylum about possibly pitching a project to them. One person from the studio sent a reply e-mail saying that an outline would need to be submitted for consideration. Meanwhile, a second person from the studio also replied to the inquiry, stating that the Asylum only works with in-house staff and would not consider material from outside sources. Because of the mixed signals, the filmmaker decided to try his luck with a company that had better interdepartmental communications.
In the meantime, here's Asylum's own take on their company:
