The art-world duo known for pioneering the world of online video content. now have their first television show on HBO.. The brothers primarily use cameras that we all might have and, go about shooting the world around them. They’re way kinder and gentler Michael Moore’s, if you will.
Casey and Van Neistat have produced over two hundred short films, most notably iPod’s Dirty Secret, focusing on Apple’s policy on replacing iPod batteries, and Bike Thief, chronicling the ease with which they steal their own bicycle. Casey also produced Daddy Longlegs, which we talked about here.
The show is a mix of biographical vignettes and experiments in curiosity, The Neistat Brothers includes such segments as: a nautical challenge of varying proportions; smuggling authentic maple syrup into Amsterdam; a disappointing and revelatory trip to Mexico; studio renovations; and the search for Van’s biological father.
And the founder of Nantucket Nectars, Tom Scott is the executive producer.
Look for The Neistat Brothers on Fridays, at 12 Midnight, on HBO. Visit the official website here and enjoy the preview of the show below.
