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

What happens
Hit and Runway is a 1999 American comedy film directed by Christopher Livingston. The film is a buddy comedy centred on the work relationship between Alex Andero (Michael Parducci), a young heterosexual Italian-American waiter, and Elliot Springer (Peter Jacobson), an older gay Jewish playwright, who meet and become friends despite their differences as they collaborate on Alex's idea for a screenplay about an undercover police officer posing as a fashion model. The film was partially inspired by Livingston and cowriter Jaffe Cohen's own process of trying to hammer out their own differences as they began to collaborate on what would become the film's screenplay. It won best screenplay at the 1999 Los Angeles Independent Film Festival. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
