When I lived in LA and was trying to get into the movie biz there was an endless sea of people looking for free crews/gear etc. I worked on a couple of the projects just to get something on the resume. During those projects I was offered numerous jobs to work on other movies so long as I was willing to work for free.
The only other one I did for free was a project where the producer had sold her two previous projects and signed a contract with the crew that said if the project gets sold you get paid.
It was a two week shoot that was actually pretty fun and she ended up breaking even on the project even though it didn't get big distribution and paid the entire crew.
