Our Story

Built by filmmakers.
For filmmakers.

Storyboarder.ai didn't come out of a tech incubator — it came off the set. We've spent our careers producing commercials, series and feature films, and we got tired of the pre-production grind: the moodboards, shot lists and storyboards that need to look great yesterday. So we built the tool we always wished we had — for our own industry, by people who live in it.

The Founders

Two filmmakers. One tool.

Dustin Steinkühler — Co-Founder & CEO of Storyboarder.ai, director and producer behind the AI storyboard generator

Dustin Steinkühler

Co-Founder & CEO · Director & Producer

Dustin studied film directing and went on to lead two production companies across advertising, content and film development — working extensively as both director and producer. At Storyboarder.ai he owns the product vision from a director's perspective. The frustration that started it all was his own: making an idea tangible fast enough for a client to grasp — without burning days and budget on storyboards.

Zeyd Taha Candan — Co-Founder & CTO of Storyboarder.ai, producer building the AI storyboard maker

Zeyd Taha Candan

Co-Founder & CTO · Producer

Zeyd studied film producing and began his career at FYNAL as a Junior Producer, where he was responsible for researching and developing new formats. He brings the structure and technical depth behind the product, turning the messy reality of pre-production into something systematic and scalable. Where Dustin pushes the creative vision, Zeyd makes it work.

Between the two of us, we've worked on 500+ cinematic projects — from commercials to features, for major brands, broadcasters and the big screen.
