Pitch CampaignThe Listening Room
Do not answer it
by Anvil & Ash · 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
The exchange on Prospect Street was disconnected in 1981 and has been kept warm ever since by a succession of people paid very little to make sure the pipes do not burst. Wren is the ninth of them. She works nights and reads. The boards are still there. So are the chairs. The lines were pulled out of the wall the same year and taken away on a truck, which is documented. On Tuesday, at twenty past two in the morning, one of the boards lights up.
Who this is about
Wren works nights at a decommissioned telephone exchange she is paid to keep the pipes from freezing in.
What goes wrong
A board with no line running into it takes a call.
What's at stake
The building comes down in six weeks, and nobody is going to believe her before then.
Why it keeps going
Each episode the calls get more specific about her.
Takeaway
The thing nobody believes is the thing you end up investigating alone.

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.
