Pitch CampaignAFTER THE LAST TRAIN
Two strangers miss the last train out of a city neither wants to be in, and spend the night working out whether either of them missed it on purpose.
by Awaiting creator · Launched Aug 20, 2026
50 more to reach the 50-backer floor
Back this at one of three levels. Nothing is charged now. Pledges are only collected if the campaign reaches $300, which is 60% of its ask, and 50 backers, and you can change or withdraw yours until then.
You are backing a stage for perks, coins and early access. You are not buying a share of the title or any financial interest in it.
A pledge is a promise to back a campaign, not a payment and not a purchase of any financial interest. Nothing is charged unless the campaign is collected, and every campaign is approved before it opens. Full disclaimer
About this title
Synopsis
The 11:40 to Pittsburgh pulls out of Cleveland with two empty seats on it, and the two people who paid for them are standing on the platform, not running. Nora Halliday came in that morning to interview for a job she spent the whole hour talking herself out of. Emmett Pace came to sign the last piece of his father's shop over to a man who will rename it by Friday. The diner across from the station stays open all night. There is a train at six-ten, and somewhere in the nine hours between, one of them is going to ask the other why they didn't run.
Who this is about
Nora Halliday came to Cleveland to interview for a job she does not want. Emmett Pace came to sign the last of his father's business away. Both miss the 11:40.
What goes wrong
The 11:40 leaves without them, and neither one ran for it. There is a waiting room, a diner that stays open, and nine hours before anything else moves.
What's at stake
Whatever they say tonight, they say to somebody they will never see again, which is why they say it. Morning turns that into a decision with a name on it.
Why it keeps going
Each episode is one more hour of the night, one more thing admitted out loud, and one more train they could still take separately at dawn.
Takeaway
Strangers get the truth first, because there is nothing yet to protect.

Where your money goes
Your money goes straight to the creator to turn this pitch into a trailer. A pitch today is a poster and a logline. What the money buys is the first piece of film anyone will see.
Nothing is collected until two things are true
This campaign has to raise $300, which is 60% of its ask, and reach 50 backers. Whichever of the two happens later is the one that counts. Money without backers is one person, and backers without money is a crowd that cannot fund the thing, so a Pitch campaign needs both.
