My 2 cents...
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER work for NOTHING... and let's face it, $100.00 is nothing in a monetary sense. Now SOMETHING doesn't have to be money... It can be the opportunity to work on something you really feel strongly about. It can be a chance to work with someone you really enjoy spending time with (and you WILL be spending a lot of time with the director). It can be about a learning experience -although if you're already getting paying gigs, I don't think you may need it. It can even be the feeling of helping someone out who you think will appreciate it (although in my experience, they seldom do...). But you MUST get some form of compensation, whether or emotional or financial. If you're interested in it, then by all means, meet with the director/producer and then go with what your heart and head tell you. Doing a gig for nothing, just to do it, does nothing except devalue you and your craft...
