Caine's ArcadeThis imaginative cardboard arcade is the awesome invention of nine year old Caine Monroy. Spending his summer vacation creating a fun-filled series of elaborate games in his dad's used auto parts store in LA, Caine opened up the arcade to passers-by. Like a regular games hall he offered special deals - $1 for two turns; $2 for a five-hundred turn Fun Pass. But even with a deal like that business was slow and Caine's chances of getting a rush of customers was small. Until, one day, independent filmmaker Nirvan Mullick stumbled on the arcade when he was looking for a car-part, in a chance meeting that would change the success of the arcade, and the story, forever.1

Caine's ArcadeCaine had spent months perfecting the design of the games, crafting prize displays, and even preparing paper-lunch-gift-bags.3
