Pitch CampaignFlight of the Grey Goose
Nobody thought it would fly
by Ninth Ward Films · Launched Jul 11, 2026
6 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 $900, 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 board voted on a Friday. It was not close and it was not unreasonable: four years, a great deal of money, and an aircraft that has flown twice, both times for under a minute. What the board did not do is move the demonstration. The date was set with the ministry a year ago and the ministry does not move dates. So there are nine days, one airframe made largely of wood, and a site where nobody is being paid to be. On Monday morning two of them come back anyway.
Who this is about
Nell Ravenscroft has spent four years and a great deal of other people's money on an aircraft the board has already written off.
What goes wrong
The funding stops on a Friday. The demonstration date does not move.
What's at stake
Nine days, one airframe, and nobody left on the site who is being paid to help her.
Why it keeps going
Each episode one more person who walked out comes back for one afternoon, and never says why.
Takeaway
Every impossible thing was finished by people who had stopped being paid.

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 $900, 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.
