LIVE from NYPL: Casey Neistat with Paul Holdengräber: Creativity & Commerce

Director, producer, and YouTube superstar Casey Neistat is reimagining not just how we tell stories but what the definition of story even is. Neistat first attained commercial success with the HBO series The Neistat Brothers and indie film Daddy Longlegs, but is also well-known for his marriage of  storytelling and commercial production in re-defining branded content on the Internet with companies such as Mercedes and Nike. His audience, who has followed him from YouTube to Instagram, Twitter, and SnapChat,  thrives on his honest narratives and glimpses into a creator’s lifestyle. Hear how this filmmaker, blogger, and native digital influencer straddles these many intersections and maintains the complex partnership between art and business as he joins Paul Holdengräber in conversation.
