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.
How it feels
A filmmaker is hired by a dying woman with a fake name and a televangelist husband. She demands to appear via video link. What follows is a descent into cinematic depravity where a charity worker becomes trapped in a project driven by obsession and control.
