YouTube Goes Behind the Scenes of 'Caine's Arcade'

YouTube recently did a Q&A with the filmmaker behind a viral video posted on the site about a 9-year-old boy who built an elaborate cardboard arcade in his dad's used auto parts store.

Since the video, Caine's Arcade, was posted in April, it has gained more than 3 million views.

In the Q&A, the filmmaker talks about his strategy behind the viral video and his reaction once it gained popularity (he was initially trying to raise $25,000 for a scholarship fund for the boy, but donations ended up totaling more than $100,000).

The filmmaker also gives tips to fellow filmmakers who are looking to drive awareness for causes they care about.

I wonder if anyone in San Bruno has a story like this to tell.
