About this project
Season 2 of The Steps will be comprised of 6 5-minute episodes, covering one night of frantic desperation for our hero, Charlie Madison.
We've determined that $17,000 will cover our production expenses for this season. That includes equipment, crew, cast, food, locations and post production.
It's not a lot of money, but if you'd like to see what we can do with not a lot of money, check out Season 1, currently running on iThentic.
That's right. We made THAT. On a shoestring.
When faced with the choice of waiting by the phone or striking while the iron is hot, we choose to strike. And now's the time to pick up our hammers.
YOU are our hammer...
Whatever you can contribute will make a huge impression on this production. And in return, we've put together a pretty cool array of rewards as an expression of our gratitude:
- Your name in the credits
- DVD of the complete 1st Season with never-before-seen extras
- Membership as a "Steps Insider", where you'll receive production updates and stills you won't see anywhere else
- A signed original poster for the series, designed by uber-cool cooperative Young Monster
- MP3s of the original soundtrack, composed by Joe Kraemer
Let's forge some iron together, Steps followers! Grab your hammers and join us!
