Having gone to high school in the small northern Manitoba town of Thompson, Steve got involved with the local cable station run by Videon Cable. There, he was able to film and edit local broadcasts of City Council and School Board meetings as well as the town Hockey Games. This led to producing a video show for the station called "Video Noize" in which two dudes rocked out by head banging on a couch in a basement while bootlegged punk music played in the background.
