Short film director Casey Neistat, the "renegade" YouTube investigator of Ipod fame, recently spent US$25,000 from the promotional budget of Twentieth Century Fox on food, medicine and tools for the victims of Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) in Tacloban City. The studio had asked him to do a promo video for the movie "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," which was about chasing a dream. Neistat was hooked on an idea--doing something that would make a difference. Instead of the usual promo efforts, the studio and the star of the movie, Ben Stiller, liked the idea and and gave their blessing. Neistat was in the country for around a week and, with some friends, made a difference for so many people. Good work my friend, we thank you!
