He sent me a raw cut of the murder scene and said he almost didn't want to send it to me because it hadn't been edited all the way. The voices were all room miked. As an engineer the first place my head goes is, 'is he going to replace that dialogue?... probably not... will it sit over music and sound half decent?... that really depends on who is doing the mixing. There's something I know I don't want to get involved with.
I think you just answered your own question. I suggest you bail. It sounds like the director/producer is an amature. Like others have said, there's plenty of opportunities to work for free. The bottom line is that he can't even get library music to fill the film with for $100. If you can't show it to people due to the content or due to the lousy production, it's worthless to you.
