Calling all procrastinators! Deciding what to get the man in your life is no easy task. But stress-no-more thanks to Van Neistat’s GIFT GUIDE. As Van so succinctly explains, "These are 20 gifts for men who are always satisfied with the very best. (From $7 to $25,000)." 

An early pioneer in digital filmmaking, Van Neistat made his first viral internet video, The Holland Tunnel, in 2000. He is now breaking ground in the YouTube arena with the unlimited series titled "The Spirited Man," about the spirited man or woman who lives inside all of us.  

After his first viral hit, Van went on to collaborate with New York City artist Tom Sachs, directing a series of short films shown at the Guggenheim Museum in Berlin. In 2010 HBO aired The Neistat Brothers, an 8-episode series of short videos made entirely by Van and his brother Casey Neistat.  

Van Neistat's directorial debut feature, A SPACE PROGRAM, co-written by Tom Sachs, premiered at the 2015 South by Southwest Film Festival and opened in theaters nation-widde in spring 2016. In 2018 Neistat directed the short film Paradox Bullets, co-written by Tom Sachs, narrated by Wener Herzog, and starring Ed Rucha.  

Neistat has written and directed commercial projects for Kate Spade, Tory Burch, J. Crew, Hurley, Nike, Sleepy Jones, and Francis Valentine.  

He lives in Topanga, California.
