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.

What happens

Got 2 Believe is a 2002 Filipino romantic comedy film directed by Olivia M. Lamasan from a screenplay she co-wrote with Mia A. Concio, who solely wrote the storyline. Starring Claudine Barretto and Rico Yan in his last film before he died a month later, with the supporting cast including Dominic Ochoa, Vhong Navarro, Carlo Muñoz, Nikki Valdez, Cherry Pie Picache, and Noel Trinidad, the story follows a hopeless romantic wedding coordinator who strike a relationship with a skeptical photographer, which led to question their feelings to each other. The title originated from the song "Got to Believe in Magic", originally sung by David Pomeranz from a composition and written lyrics by Charles Fox and Stephen Geyer, which was covered for the film by Joey Generoso, vocalist of Side A. Produced and distributed by Star Cinema, the film was theatrically released on February 27, 2002, and became a box office success. In 2015, it was digitally remastered by ABS-CBN Film Restoration, in partnership with Central Digital Lab. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
