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.

Ricky 6 is a 2000 American-Mexican-Canadian film co-production loosely based on the life of Ricky Kasso, a suburban teenager accused of Satanism and murder in the 1980s. The film was written and directed by Peter Filardi, and based on the 1987 book, Say You Love Satan by David St. Clair. Vincent Kartheiser played the disturbed protagonist, renamed Ricky Cowen, in the film. The film also stars Chad Christ, Patrick Renna, Sabine Singh and Emmanuelle Chriqui. Ricky 6 won the Audience Prize at the Fantasia Film Festival in 2000. As of 2025, it has yet to be released in either theaters or on video. However, bootleg VHS and DVD copies of the film have been sold on various Internet sites. Ricky 6 is an international co-production between the United States, Mexico and Canada and was produced by American producer Terry G. Jones, Mexican producer Juan-Carlos Zapata and Canadian producer William Vince. It was filmed in Fredericton and Woodstock, New Brunswick, Canada. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
