Question 2

What are the criteria for Creative Membership approval?

Accepted Answer

THINK PIG Community was created to connect creatives and high-level professionals in the film industry. 
We welcome experienced authors and screenwriters, as well as emerging talents, provided they can demonstrate their affiliation with the audiovisual sector and a strong commitment to professional growth.
As a niche community, we maintain highly selective standards. This is why, during registration, we ask you to indicate your level of experience based on the number of scripts you have already brought into production. This will qualify your profile within the community through a BADGE.(https://www.thinkpig.it/badges)

When you submit your application, our team will carefully review it. We’ll take the necessary time to assess your professional profile and conduct any relevant checks. If your application is approved, you’ll receive a welcome email inviting you to join the Community. If not, we’ll contact you to request additional documentation to confirm your experience in the audiovisual industry.

So, please be patient!
To speed up the evaluation process, feel free to send additional documentation (links or a CV) to community@thinkpig.it,() providing more details about your experience in the industry.

Important Note:
To maintain the exclusive and professional nature of the Community, our team periodically reviews active profiles, especially private ones without active plans. If your profile remains inactive for too long, we may proceed with its removal. 
We want our Community to consist of Members motivated to collaborate and driven by professional growth.

Question 3

Who can see my Profile?

Accepted Answer

Your profile is visible only to those you choose. 
Many members, both Creatives and Industry Professionals, choose to make their page public to increase visibility opportunities. Others prefer to keep it private or make it visible only to specific THINK PIG members. This is why in the THINKPIGGERS section,(https://www.thinkpig.it/thinkpiggers) you may notice a number of users lower than the actual number of registered members.

The difference is that Industry Members can view all profiles of Creative Members, even if they have a private profile, unless the profiles are explicit blocked by the Creative Members (but we highly doubt that...). 
On the other hand, Creative Members can only see the profiles of Industry Members who have made their profiles public. 
Why this difference? 
Because we know that Authors, in their pursuit of opportunities, might go to any lengths to contact Industry Members. For this reason, we provide a higher level of privacy to Industry Members, to prevent them from being overwhelmed by unsolicited requests and to allow them to participate in the Community in a more protected way.

Whether you are an Author or a Producer, regardless of your fame or experience level in the Industry, we always recommend having a Public Profile, as this is the best way to facilitate connections and collaborations among professionals.

PRIVACY SETTING
To change the visibility settings of your profile:
1. Click the menu in the top right and select "ACCOUNT"(https://www.thinkpig.it/account/account) from the dropdown menu. 
2. Scroll down to the "Profile Privacy" section. Here, you can fully customize the visibility of your profile and contact information, deciding who can read your scripts or interact with you.
3. Once you have selected the privacy level that best suits your needs, click "Make profile Private" or "Make profile Public."

Confirm the changes in the pop-up that appears to save the settings.

Question 4

Can other Members read my Scripts on the site?

Accepted Answer

That’s entirely up to you and the privacy settings you choose. You can set your profile as Public or Private.
SCRIPT BOARD
On the Script Board, you have the option to make your work available to all Community Members, including professionals from the Film Industry. Typically, this area is used to share pitches or brief concepts designed to spark interest and attract attention. However, you’re free to upload more extensive materials if you want to increase visibility, especially among industry professionals.

WRITERS' ROOM
In the Writers’ Room area, you have complete control over the content you upload and who gets access. You can invite specific members to join your room, creating a direct and private communication channel. This also includes the ability to organize video calls with members who have access to this private area.
Furthermore, in the WRITERS' ROOM settings you can choose whether to make a room public, private or hidden.

INDUSTRY
The Industry area operates differently. Here, only Industry Members who are specifically interested in optioning scripts can access and download PDFs. This access is reserved for Scripts that have received a positive evaluation.
Also, if your Script is evaluated, you can decide whether to upload the reviewed PDF to the Industry area or keep it private.

Regardless of your choice, we always recommend keeping your Profile Public and sharing your work. This strategy maximizes your chances of connecting with professionals interested in taking your projects to the next level.

Question 5

Does the Community require payment for services?

Accepted Answer

Our Community is an exclusive and highly selective environment designed to connect creatives and professionals in the film industry within a high-level network. The payment required for each member is not just about access, but is essential to maintaining the quality, efficiency, and integrity that define THINK PIG.

For this reason, before signing up, we invite you to read our "☕️ Coffee Policy"(https://www.thinkpig.it/coffeepolicy).

Here are some reasons why we have chosen this model:
Quality and Selection: The financial contribution helps maintain a high standard of quality, ensuring that only serious and committed members are part of the Community. Each membership fee contributes to selecting authors and professionals who are ready to invest in their future and opportunities.

Access to Exclusive Resources: Paid members have access to a variety of resources and opportunities that go beyond simple participation in the Community. This includes the chance to be read by industry experts, participate in events, workshops, creative residencies, and access a network of privileged contacts that can make a difference in the career of a writer or producer.

Support for Projects and Growth: Paid plans allow us to provide constant support to members, from professional project evaluations to the opportunity to build international connections with industry leaders. Our goal is to facilitate members' growth by providing them with concrete tools for success.

Maintaining the Community and Platform: Each membership fee, depending on the chosen plan, contributes to the ongoing maintenance and improvement of the platform and services offered, ensuring the best possible experience for every member. THINK PIG’s Community is continuously evolving, and it is thanks to the contributions of our members that we can sustain this development.

Dedicated Support: Regardless of the plan chosen, the payment for membership allows us to maintain a dedicated support team ready to assist members at every stage of their journey. Every member has access to a team that helps them navigate the world of the film industry and optimize their chances of success.
