Viral: Filmmaker Casey Neistat spends promotional budget of USD25,000 to help Yolanda victims

Already floating on the web is this video done by filmmaker Casey Neistat. He was approached by 20th Century Fox to create a promotional video for the movie The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. “We want to run a campaign under the concept ‘Live your dream,'” he narrates on the video. He replied saying: “Give me the budget. I’ll go to the Philippines, spend every penny helping people in need.” So off he went to our dear old country, wiped out SnR, rented two buses, and headed to Tacloban for his and 20th Century Fox’s collaborative relief effort. Awesome, yes? Check out the video below:

He’s the same guy who made the awesome “Make it Count” video for Nike roughly two years ago, that of course, also went viral. Check it below:
