Default One time use permit

Hey everyone,
So I just had a documentary film maker contact me asking if he could use one of my photographs in his film. I have sold a print here and there, but never done anything like this. I want to let him use it for free, but not allow him to use it in any media form other than this movie without my permission again, and I would like my name in the credits of the documentary.

What would be the best way to go about this and ensure those conditions are met? I really just want to protect myself from someone else profiting over my work.

I am about to leave for a camping trip (and photographing, duh!) so please excuse my delayed response to any questions.

Thanks
