We’re taking some time off this May to get ready for our exciting new summer guests and book launch! In the meantime, we’re listening back to some of our favorite past episodes.

In this episode, Steve and Vince discuss the 2004 film “White Chicks”, directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, with Steve as the cinematographer.

Using White Chicks as their foundation, they explore topics such as Steve’s collaboration with the Wayans brothers, the multi-camera approach in filmmaking, and the value of leadership that fosters creativity and eliminates fear.

There’s a unique space between the pure enthusiasm of a movie fan and the hard-won knowledge of a working filmmaker, and that’s exactly where you’ll find Filmmaker and Fan's Podcast. Hosted by award-winning cinematographer and director Steven Bernstein-whose work includes films like *Monster* and *The Wood*-and Vince Grimes, an executive producer and self-described mega fan with a deep background in creative leadership, this series thrives on the friction and friendship of their two perspectives. Each episode is built around a core conversation where Vince’s passionate fandom meets Steven’s film school-level insight, dissecting everything from classic cinema to contemporary hits. You’re essentially getting a backstage pass to the kind of detailed, often hilarious, and always insightful talks that happen after the credits roll, where technical craft and sheer love for the medium collide. It’s for anyone who doesn’t just watch movies but feels them, and who wants to understand not only why a scene works but exactly how it was built. Tune in for these deep-dive discussions that explore the heart of cinema, from performance and direction to the hidden details that make a film unforgettable. This podcast turns casual viewing into a richer, more connected experience.
