7. Caine Plays

Nirvan Mullick’s short film ‘Caine’s Arcade’ brought the attention of gamers and supporters to the 9-year-old Caine and his cardboard box full of arcade games. Caine spent the whole summer in developing his arcade, including the classic arcade games in his father’s used auto parts store. The dutiful son then concentrated on encouraging visitors to his father’s store to buy a Fun Pass.

The genius has also made security machines out of calculators and has designed a uniform T-shirt. Thanks to Nirvan Mullick and his film, an amount of $142,000 (and growing) has been collectively raised up to meet the expenses for Caine’s higher studies.
