Going rate is $800-$1200 a day in New York for film centric producers. Use a few factors to decide what’s best for you - how long is the gig? (Longer gig, you might be willing to do $800 or less a day) Is this a relationship that leads to more work down the road? Does it offer you something you like (remote work, creative, etc). If this is your first freelance gig, is it worth taking to get the experience?
The nice thing about freelance - you don’t have to get involved with office politics and drama and if the agency is terrible, you’re done in 2-3 months.
I’d be cautious if they really want to low ball your day rate - ie $400-$500 a day.
Happy to share any other advice if you need it. Good luck!
This is such a well written, thoughtful, and accurate response. Any chance you’re hiring for your team? I am a Sr Producer based in NYC looking for a change.
I’d ask for $1k/d. Remember they’ll probably push back on the rate, so you’re setting your starting point with this.
Also remember that inflation is at 7%, which means if you aren’t increasing your cost by at least 7% then you are taking a pay cut
