Ask for the short-film rate by name, in writing, with the dates and a one-page deck; book sound before camera; and have kit insurance before you ask, because no house releases kit without it. A weekend is often charged as one day. What to hire and what to skip is in the low-budget guide; the crew deal memo and the risk assessment are in the paperwork.
