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
This independent film follows a young man as he moves through a series of low-wage jobs in small-town Indiana. It shows the repetitive and often absurd nature of his work experiences and the people he encounters.
