Such a strange narrative. I dig it though. I like to think it’s a small part of a lager piece and the rest of it is just waiting out there somewhere ready to be watched. 

This does it for me.

This is both heartwarming and well executed.  

This trailer gives me a weird uneasy feeling. I really want to see this but I can’t figure out how to watch it. 

Inspiring short film about life and the value of following your dreams. 

A 9-year-old boy from East L.A. takes the excess cardboard from his dad’s auto shop and builds his own arcade. What happens next is sort of magical. 

This video is so great. The power of social media and Internet giant Reddit put to a great cause. Well shot, well executed, great content. Someone even made a song about Caine that they used in the doc!

The folks who put the film together are trying to raise money for Caine to go to college. You can read more about his project and donate to that here.

Thanks for being so awesome Caine!

If A Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front

I watched this documentary last night and it started an interesting conversation between my friends and I. For me it was really inspiring to see a group of people so passionate about something that they were willing to go to such extremes for it. I don’t know if their methods are right but after seeing the police action taken against them in the film it’s hard not to sympathize with the E.L.F. 

That being said activism is a confusing and challenging subject for me and I don’t really know how to properly articulate my thoughts on it so I think I’ll leave it alone. But I think this documentary is worth watching. It’s up for an Oscar this year. It’s streaming on Netflix. Check it out. It’s worth an hour and a half of your time.
