About this title
Synopsis
The wall runs eleven kilometers through the middle of the city, and everybody agrees it is not a wall. It is a boundary. A jurisdiction. An administrative line that happens to have lights on one side of it. Idris was a detective on the lit side until he would not drop a case the department had decided was not a case. He works private now, which mostly means he works for whoever can pay him to cross. On Thursday a body turns up in the lit district carrying a dark-side work permit. The city's official position is that this cannot happen.
Who this is about
Idris was a detective until the department decided the case he would not drop was a case that did not exist. He works private now, on the wrong side of the wall.
What goes wrong
A body turns up in the lit district wearing a dark-side work permit, a combination the city insists cannot occur.
What's at stake
Proving it possible means proving somebody moves people through the wall, and everyone who could confirm that is somebody who did it.
Why it keeps going
Each episode he trades one favor to cross, and the crossings get more expensive every time.
Takeaway
A wall is never built to keep people out. It is built so somebody can charge for the door.

Story, in the creator's words
Neon Divide follows Detective Kira Tanaka, stripped of her badge after a botched raid, and Zero — a hacker living in the lawless Undercity. When a string of disappearances links both districts to a shadowy biotech conglomerate, they form an uneasy alliance. Season 1 delivers 60 episodes across 5 arcs, plus a feature-length finale. The series explores themes of class division, surveillance, and the human cost of technological progress. We have secured commitments from three voice actors with anime and audiobook credits, and our animation pipeline is built on Blender + After Effects with a proven 3-episode-per-week output rate.

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.
