Nervin Mullick is a filmmaker. He goes to buy a doorknob at an auto-parts resale shop and finds a 9 year old boy that has created a full arcade out of cardboard. Nervin recognizes some genius in this child and decides to make a film. He invites a flash mob to the arcade for the movie shoot. This begins a huge movement called The Imagination Foundation. Their goal is to Find Foster and Fund children with imaginations. They have created this movement to invite children to invent and create.
Nervin says, "One of the things I have learned from this experience is how a small gesture can change the life of a child." As a teacher, I am not sure that I can fund, but I know that I can find and I can foster. These students need a cheerleader, someone who will stop to recognize the effort and the genius that is hiding. I can offer a classroom that challenges students to create and discover and connect.
