The Neistat Brothers on HBO
The Neistat Brothers (Casey and Van) have been shooting movies since their Mother bought them their first camera. In 1999, the imac DV came out - the first computer to allow its users to edit video. Now, after teaching themselves how to edit, they have a show on HBO. The show is a collection of shorts made by Casey and Van that are strung together in one longer, 30 minute show. When watching the show, you get the all too rare sensation that you're experiencing these stories with the brothers themselves. It is this open, relaxed style that makes Casey and Van such appealing artists. It's a breath of fresh air - real time, their lives, their stories. Check out the trailer to see what they're all about.
