He left his family's home and had his first child, a son named Owen, with then-girlfriendRobin Harrisin 1998 when he was just 17 years old.

He created a short film, "iPod's Dirty Secret," that disparaged Apple's policy on replacing the batteries in iPods. It took less than a week for the video to crack more than one million views on the internet, leading to a media frenzy with coverage across a variety of outlets, including BBC News and "Rolling Stone" magazine.

In 2004, Casey and Van developed their own film series: "Science Experiments." Each film lasted 15 minutes and featured random experiments; the series was part of the 26th Sao Paulo Biennial and Creative Time's 59th Minute Program. In 2008, they struck an eight-episode TV series deal with HBO that premiered in 2010. The brothers wrote, directed, and produced "The Neistat Brothers," which premiered on June 4, 2010.
