The road closed behind them

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 $1,200, 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
Manny Oyelaran has driven the plow on this pass for sixteen winters and has never failed to open it. That is not pride, it is arithmetic: the pass is nine miles and the plow is faster than the weather, most of the time, by enough. The gate comes down at four. Eleven vehicles are already through it, strung out along nine miles of road that has stopped being a road. The forecast for tonight is minus thirty. Manny sits in the cab at the gate and works out how many trips there are.
Who this is about
Manny Oyelaran drives the plow on the pass and has never once failed to clear it.
What goes wrong
The storm closes the road behind eleven vehicles that got through before the gate came down.
What's at stake
Eleven cars, nine miles, and a night forecast to reach minus thirty.
Why it keeps going
Each episode is one more vehicle reached, and one more calculation about how many trips there is time for.
Takeaway
The person who saves everybody is almost always the one who counted first.

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 $1,200, 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.
