Pitch CampaignSecond String
Nobody's backup forever
by Anvil & Ash · Launched Jul 14, 2026
7 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
Eleven years. Four starters. Marcus Reyes has been paid extremely well, for a very long time, to know the entire playbook and never once run it. He is good at the part of the job nobody watches. Three of the four men ahead of him learned the offense sitting beside him on a Tuesday, and two of them have said so publicly, which he appreciated a great deal more than he let on. In April the team drafts a nineteen-year-old with a better arm than any of them ever had, and asks Marcus to teach him.
Who this is about
Marcus Reyes has been a backup for eleven years, which means he has been paid extremely well to know everything and do nothing.
What goes wrong
The team drafts a nineteen-year-old with a better arm than any of them ever had, and asks Marcus to teach him.
What's at stake
Doing the job well ends his career. Doing it badly ends it faster, and worse.
Why it keeps going
Each episode is one more thing he could withhold and does not.
Takeaway
The measure of a man is what he teaches the person hired to replace him.

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.
