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.

The film's tagline is It began as a dream... and became an adventure of a lifetime. The film was written and directed by Stewart Raffill, who wrote and directed the similarly themed Across The Great Divide and the first of the Wilderness Family films in the 1970s, all of which also starred Robert Logan.
