Neistat released a four-minute short film about his grandmother on YouTube on October 31, 2011. The video begins with him asking his grandmother how many years she thinks she'll spend on her annual tap dance show, and then intercuts various newspaper clips from her life, the main focus being the money raised for cancer research-related charities.

In the 2016 United States presidential election, Neistat favors Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Neistat produced a video titled "who's voting for president" on October 11, 2016, in which he claimed that people's views were "the essence of a healthy democracy" and that the "election had little to do with politics, policy, or legislation." Neistat's film was chastised because he said that designers who did not endorse Hillary Clinton were "complicit" in Trump's "lying, racial, misogynist(ic)" attributes and were "partially responsible for delivering him (Donald Trump) reins of power.
Neistat said on September 27, 2019 that he should have taken a more "effective" route to filming the video because he was "too upset, angry, and emotional" when it was released. He also said that the video lacks "diplomacy" and that he already feels the same way about Trump.
In the 2020 United States presidential race, Neistat endorsed Democrat Joe Biden.
Early filmmaking career
Neistat and his brother Van began working with artist Tom Sachs in 2001, and later created a series of films describing the artist's sculptures and installations.
Neistat first gained international fame in 2003 with a three-minute film entitled iPod's Dirty Secret, blaming Apple for not having a battery replacement service for their iPod line of portable media players. The film attracted national media interest and drew increasing attention to the company's efforts against iPod battery replacements. On September 20, 2003, the film was released on the internet and gained brisk media attention. The Washington Post praised the film as "wonderfully renegade."
Apple introduced a battery replacement policy on November 14, 2003, as well as an extended iPod warranty program on November 21. On Fox News's Your World, Fox News announced the date of the change at "two weeks" following the clip's unveiling and Neil Cavuto's description of the clip as a "David and Goliath tale." Natalie Sequeira, an Apple spokeswoman, denied there was any connection between the film and the new strategy, saying that the policy update had been in the works for months before the film was released.
Science Experiments, a film project developed by Neistat and his brother in 2004. A number of short films describing various experiments were included in the 15-minute series. In So Paulo, Brazil, the collection was included in the 26th So Paulo Biennial. The work was well-received, and it was eventually included in Creative Time's 59th Minute program presenting a one-minute excerpt from Neistat's film every 59 minutes on the Panasonic Times Square Astrovision.
