Working for the French

This morning I received an email from a French producer who saw my listing on procrewbook and he asked me if I would be available next week. I replied, asked for what type of gig and how much it would pay. To this he responded "300/day" which isn't bad, but it isn't great either if we're talking dollars, but... You guessed it... We weren't -- We were talking Euro!!! At $1.60 to the Euro that's $480! He hired me just like that. No questions. I was just probably the first guy to answer his emails. Apparently for European producers who don't work in the States regularly, this type of thing is not uncommon. They find you on a site like procrewbook and see who gets back to them. So, turns out that he will actually pay me in Euro as that's what he brught with him. I'll have to convert it at the bank. I think my bank will do it. If not, I'll go to FOREX.
