That'll bring you to the actual video on YouTube, and from there you can get the link to share it elsewhere.

to encourage and support his son's imagination!! This is beautiful, and it looks like Caine will continue to develop his ideas as he gets older--doing something he loves!!

He seemed like a really awesome dad to me as well. He was so supportive and really showed some wonder at how amazing his kid was.

Glad you liked it!

(Nirvan) who took the time to play, video this and set up the flash mob. What a nice thing to do for a super creative kid.

The kid was beyond precious (when kids these days--gosh, I sound old--are always looking at their phones or at TV or computer screens, it is such a treat to see that pure enthusiasm for creating something). The dad was such a good parent, encouraging his creativity. And the filmmaker did such a great job of arranging the flashmob, making sure there'd be staff there to help run the arcade.

I loved all those people who showed up! I mean, a homemade arcade in East LA... that was really sweet of them. It's so easy to be cynical about people, especially if we follow the news and politics closely, but most of us humans really are pretty darned nice.
