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
Nights, the trucks come in loaded and go out empty. Ray Sokolowski keeps payroll on the fourteenth floor, the only window in the valley high enough to see over the furnace yard wall. He starts staying late. Eleven weeks, a camera bought for his daughter's birthday, thirty-one rolls taped inside a filing cabinet. In March the disposal logs go through a shredder on the ninth floor, and his negatives become the only record left. He has nine years to a pension, a mortgage, and a brother on the furnace floor who will lose his job the week the story runs. There is nobody else who saw it, and the film is in a cabinet twelve feet from his desk.
Who this is about
Ray Sokolowski keeps payroll on the fourteenth floor of a steel company's office tower, which is the only building in the valley high enough to see over the furnace yard wall.
What goes wrong
Trucks come in at night and leave empty. He photographs eleven weeks of it through the window with a camera bought for his daughter. Then the disposal logs are shredded.
What's at stake
The negatives are the only record left that any of it happened. He has a mortgage, a pension in nine years, and a brother on the furnace floor who will lose more than he does.
Why it keeps going
Each episode is one more night at the window, one more roll to hide, and one more person he could tell who would have to decide what to do about it.
Takeaway
The last copy of a destroyed record is worth exactly as much as the person holding 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.
