Pitch CampaignThe Deputy Mayor of Nowhere
He was fourth in line. Three people quit.
by Third Coast Collective · 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
Owen Brady took the job because it came with a title, a parking space directly outside the municipal building, and no duties whatsoever. Nine hundred people live in this town. Four of them wanted the position and three of them outranked him. In March the mayor resigns. In April the first deputy resigns. On the eleventh of May the second deputy resigns at nine in the morning and is out of the building by ten. Owen still has the parking space. It is now comfortably the least of what he has.
Who this is about
Owen Brady accepted Deputy Mayor of a town of nine hundred because it came with a title, a parking space and no duties of any kind.
What goes wrong
The mayor resigns in March. The first deputy resigns in April. The second resigns on the eleventh of May, at nine in the morning, over the same thing.
What's at stake
There is a reason all three of them left, and Owen is about to be the person who finds out what it was.
Why it keeps going
Each episode he opens one more drawer nobody had intended him to open.
Takeaway
The reason nobody wants the job is always written down somewhere.

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.
