Pitch CampaignGloves Off at Dawn
One more round than he had left
by Meridian Line Studios · 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
Ruben Salas retired at thirty-four, on time, on his own terms, with his speech intact and enough money to open a gym. Five years of other men's sons since then, and he has been happy, which he says out loud sometimes to check that it is true. The insurance calls his daughter's operation elective. It is not elective. It costs forty-one thousand dollars, and Ruben has eleven, and the gym is worth about nine on a good day to a buyer who does not exist. On Thursday a promoter calls with one night, a man twelve years younger, and a purse of forty-five.
Who this is about
Ruben Salas retired sensibly at thirty-four and has spent five years training other men's sons.
What goes wrong
His daughter needs an operation the insurance calls elective, and a promoter offers him one night against a man twelve years younger.
What's at stake
He knows exactly what one more fight costs, because he has watched it happen to four friends.
Why it keeps going
Each episode is another week of a camp his body cannot do, hidden from a family who would stop him.
Takeaway
A man who knows the price is the only one who can genuinely decide to pay it.

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.
