Not to be the voice of doom, or a glass-is-half-empty kind of guy...
But...
Through the years I've knows a few dozen people who worked either as crew, post-production staff, or actors in exactly the same set-up.
Some have even made pretty darn decent and potentially marketable films. Some were bad, but some were quite
quite good.
I'm unaware of
any of them that ever saw as much as one dime from their "points deal."
I'd say, if you wanna make the movie, make it... if it is something that you want to do, if it is a subject or theme that is close to your heart, if it seems fun, or if you want to build your reel. Don't make it though in expectation of a future payday down the road. I have rarely seen those happen.
