I just recently have been contacted by an independent producer who wants me to score his indie film. It's not a feature, it's like 40 minutes. Anyway he offered me 100 bucks up front and seems really positive about my music. This is a major first time opportunity for me and I'm torn. The money is beyond awful and I've been getting a small amount of somewhat better paying work (demos for some music houses, random web page loops and flash games and corporate underscores). I definitely would only want to do this project if it was really going to benefit my reel/be a satisfying experience.

How would you guys determine the value of such a project. Mainly I'm curious about the ultimate production value and if he's gonna be really ambitious with submitting this project to festivals and stuff but I really just don't know what the hell I'm talking about. I need to know what questions to ask, what to look for etc. Please give me advice. I've got to respond to this guy's e-mail.

Thank you all sooo much. I realize I'm new to this forum, I've been a silent viewer for some time and now I could really use some feedback.

Thanks.
