The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Return to Macon County is a 1975 American action drama film. Although written and directed by Richard Compton, who was responsible for the 1974 drive-in classic Macon County Line, and bearing a similar title, this film is not the latter film's sequel. It was re-released by Orion Pictures in the late-1990s. Filming took place on location in and around the city of Forsyth, Georgia during the early winter of 1975. Set in 1958, the film stars then little-known actors Nick Nolte (as Bo) and Don Johnson (as Harley). They portray friends who are heading to California to enter a drag race.
