About Steven
Steven Bernstein is an American writer, director, and cinematographer recognized for his work across various media. He has received notable awards including the Best Artistic Contribution Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival in 1992 for the film Like Water for Chocolate, shared with Emmanuel Lubezki. Bernstein's work in commercials has earned him the Cannes Golden Lion. As an author, he published the book Film Production through Focal Press, which has been translated into several languages and was once a bestselling textbook on filmmaking. In the realm of television, Bernstein was an ASC nominee in 2014 for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography for the series Magic City. His contributions extend to journalism as he regularly writes for SonyCine Magazine and is a subject matter expert for articles on screenwriting and filmmaking for Adobe Creative Cloud. Bernstein has directed various shorts, music videos, and commercials, and made his feature film debut with Decoding Annie Parker in 2014, for which he received The Alfred P.

His second feature, Last Call, was released theatrically in 2020 and explores the final day of Dylan Thomas’s life through a surrealistic biopic that Bernstein wrote, produced, and directed. Since 2016, Bernstein has been involved in initiatives to expand Greece's film industry, including facilitating a tax rebate policy, training Greek film students, and building a modern film studio. Additionally, he co-hosts the Film Maker And Fans Podcast with Vince Grimes and authored the novel GRQ, published in 2025, which has received multiple awards.

FAQs
Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
