An interesting article on the BBC newsite including short interview quotes from the guys behind the Asylum film company appeared today:
Spoofing the big film blockbusters
The two met as kids and got into home movie making and have taken it to a fully fledged business that is a viable career for them, even with all the cease and desist letters they receive and arguing over artwork, logos and fonts!
Interesting to note how they feel their fans saw their own versions of War of the Worlds and Sherlock Holmes as better than the big budget versions. Even if, "ours has dinosaurs and dragons and robots in it."
They say they are making a living and will never give it up, even if they receive offers from the big firms to go work for them.
