Independent online video enthusiasts may recall the early 2010 original noir mystery web series based out of Chattanooga, Tennessee. The Steps told the story of Charlie Madison, “a lowlife private investigator from Los Angeles who’s forced to live under an assumed identity in middle America to escape his criminal past.” And The Steps was able to tell that story (as well as promote it by way of billboards on Chattanooga buses) because its writer/director Dylan Kussman received a financial grant from Create Here, “a local program to build Chattanooga’s cultural economy through arts, economic and cultural development initiatives.” For the second season of The Steps, Kussman and his production shop Giantleap Industries wanted to take Madison’s story back to the town where Madison came from, and give the character a 24-hour action-packed window in which the former Hollywood Pi attempts to find evidence that would clear his name and instead finds trouble.
