Letter from Tomorrow: a short vertical micro-drama, shown on a phone-first player, as the public proof that 2u.tv's subdomain engine works.
Show the player, test six pilot episodes with real viewers, then open the same player to other makers. Spend real money only once the pilot is shown to hold an audience.
