CAINE'S ARCADE

9 year old arcade enthusiast Caine Monroy built his own arcade in his dad's used auto parts store in east LA. Thanks to short filmmaker Nirvan Mullick you can watch as Caine has the best day of his life. Caine raised almost 200,000 dollars for his college fund, which is being matched to go into Caine's Arcade Foundation,  to help find, fund, and foster creativity and entrepreneurship in young kids. This is so adorable it made me tear up a little bit. What an awesome kid. I would love to check it out one weekend. Visit Caine's Arcade website, here.

MENAGERIE

"Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man..Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, .just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures" - The Dalai Lama

Menagerie by Jonathan Hodgson takes us on a journey through a common zoo, letting us see things through the animal's perspective. Though some zoos are better than others, this is what is must be like for them day in and day out. It made me sad, especially the part with the gorilla. It's hard to see all these amazing creatures that were meant to roam the wild freely, live in such small spaces. This is beautifully done, please watch!
