Director Casey Neistat's New York City - 15 Seconds

Casey Neistat, New York City resident and film director, tells us why he loves living in New York City. Film director, Casey Neistat, takes inspiration from the city where he lives: “New York City is without a doubt my muse… it is a star of so many of my movies: it’s not a location, nor is it a backdrop - it is a character. The motivations behind so much of my work are the interactions that I have with this city.”

This is part of our series of two-minute films about the country’s most magical locations. Seen through the eyes of 12 film directors, we hear their personal stories in their favorite landscapes and cities. We celebrate the USA as film’s greatest backdrop and via our film directors we gain unique insights into these extraordinary places.
