Discovered this short film about Caine Monroy, a 9-year old boy who created an arcade made entirely out of cardboard inside his dad’s used auto parts store.

Caine is a hero. To him who creates. To her who shares her passion. To someone who has a message. But is ignored.

Caine is a teacher. I learned three things.

ONE

There is wisdom in going back to the basics. You can go to an arcade with high-tech games plus all the bells and whistles. Or you can play in Caine’s cardboard arcade. You decide which captures the true meaning of play.

TWO

Don’t underestimate the power of one believer. It only takes one domino, the right domino, to make all the other pieces fall.

THREE

Always keep it simple and easy. People come to Caine’s arcade knowing who built it and why he waits everyday for someone to play. Everyone gets it.

WE CAME TO PLAY!
