Caine’s Arcade 2: Global Cardboard Challenge & Imagination Foundation

CBS NEWS

Kids + Cardboard Will Change The World

Photographer Karen Christensen of The Legacy Boutique, who partners with children and women centered charities, was proud to be one of the Producers on Caine's Arcade 2 which support Creative Entrepreneurship and Imagination in kids. CBS News, TIME Kids Magazine, Diane Sawyer, and over 1 million views on You Tube.

It’s no secret. Since I was 19 years old, fresh off the plane from NH, I’ve been blessed to work on so many incredible creative projects here in Los Angeles.

Producing for the Caine’s Arcade followup film, alongside the ridiculously talented producers/writers/directors Erin Heidenreich and Bristol Baughan of Uprise, has been no exception. Launching the Imagination Foundation and inviting the world out for a Global Cardboard Challenge this October 6th, I am thrilled to share with you Director Nirvan Mullick’s followup film. Featured on CBS News, The Jeff Probst Show, TIME Kids, and with OVER 1 million views — it’s kinda a big deal.

This film highlights all the magical opportunity that was born these past 5 months from the imagination of a 9-year-old boy, Caine, who built an elaborate cardboard arcade in his father’s East LA auto parts shop. From Jack Black, to LL Cool J, to Justin Timberlake, to Jessica Alba, to Annie Lennox, to Diane Sawyer, to the Caan Film Festival in France, to rocket scientist Rob Manning — the response has been HUGE!

Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just
your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.

But think about if you added some great pictures or video clips to give your posts
more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics
and videos, this blog could definitely be one of the best in
its field. Wonderful blog!
