Well, I have a problem. I recently put a screenplay short up on InkTip -- a cute/funny 11 page piece about a young couple unpacking after arriving at their new house. I figured maybe a film student (like I was once) would be able to use it for a student film or something. I wasn't figuring on charging anything for it as the listing was free -- I was more interested in seeing something dramatic of mine made, as I work in commercials etc., and haven't been able to drum up much interest in anybody looking at my stuff.
Well, a nice young woman, who just graduated from film school, is interested in making it... but she wants to know how much I want for it.
I have no idea what to say and I realize I should have thought more about this before I ever listed it.
Can anyone advise me? How much is a short worth? (I'm not interested in making money but rather in giving the impression that I think it's worth something -- which it is, I think.)
Maybe there's some sort of scale for such things that I know nothing about.
