I came across the video below a week or two ago and it really has been resonating with me lately. Casey Neistat has made his mark in the film world, but in his own way. He only posts his original work online. He has no urge to put something on the big screen because he realized that there is an easily accessible audience on the internet. Not only that, with the smallest budget, you can make great films just by utilizing what you already have. He likes to call it “Minimalist Filmmaking”. Watch his presentation below and hear more about him, his story, and his outlook on making films.
