Caine's Arcade is a short documentary film by Nirvan Mullick released in April 2012 that featured an eponymous arcade created by then 9-year-old Caine Monroy out of cardboard boxes and everyday objects. The boy ran his arcade from his father's auto parts store in Los Angeles during mid-2011. Mullick was inspired to make the documentary after unexpectedly coming across the arcade while getting a part for his car, discovering the level of commitment, work, and thought Caine had put into the arcade, and becoming Caine's first customer. In the course of filming the documentary, Mullick arranged for a flash mob from social media sites to come by the arcade, increasing the awareness of the arcade.

The film, on its release to Vimeo, soon became a viral video. Numerous people donated money towards Caine's college fund. Subsequently, schools around the world have recreated similar cardboard arcades, and from the positive response, inspired Mullick and the team behind the film to start the Imagination Foundation, a non-profit group aimed to find and foster creativity and entrepreneurship in children across the world.

Based on a feature article written by Sewell, Mad Hot Ballroom looks inside the lives of 11-year-old New York City public school kids who journey into the world of ballroom dancing and reveal pieces of themselves along the way. Told from the students' perspectives as the children strive toward the final citywide competition, the film chronicles the experiences of students at three schools in the neighborhoods of Tribeca, Bensonhurst and Washington Heights. The students are united by an interest in the ballroom dancing lessons, which builds over a 10-week period and culminates in a competition to find the school that has produced the best dancers in the city. As the teachers cajole their students to learn the intricacies of the various disciplines, Agrelo intersperses classroom footage with the students' musings on life; many of these reveal an underlying maturity.

Rat, the dumpster diver; Tiny, the teenage prostitute; Shellie, the baby-faced one; and DeWayne, the hustler, are all old beyond their years. All are underage survivors fighting for life and love on the streets of downtown Seattle, Washington.
