Pitch CampaignShe Counts the Doors
Nine. There were eight.

Past the 50-backer floor for a Pitch
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
Ottoline Vance has lived at Number Fourteen since 1984 and has written down every change made to the building in that time. The lift in eighty-nine. The rear windows in ninety-six. Not out of suspicion. Out of the habit of a woman who spent thirty years as a court reporter. On the twelfth of March there are nine doors on the third landing. The freeholder is patient with her. So is her nephew. So, eventually, is everybody, and it is the patience she finds she cannot bear.
Who this is about
Ottoline has lived in the building forty years and has recorded every alteration to it since 1984, out of habit rather than suspicion.
What goes wrong
There is a ninth door on the third landing. The freeholder says it has always been there. Her notebook says otherwise.
What's at stake
She is eighty-one, and the building has been waiting a long time for her to become unreliable.
Why it keeps going
Each episode one more neighbor agrees with the freeholder.
Takeaway
The easiest thing to take from an old woman is the assumption that she is right.

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.
