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

Pretty Broken is an American dramedy film that follows Lindsey Lou (Jillian Clare), as she tries to learn the steps after the death of her father. The film also stars Preston Bailey as Monty Lou (Lindsey's younger brother), Stacy Edwards as Caroline Lou (their mother), and Tyler Christopher as Jerry Carlyle. Resonance Productions and Leonian Pictures are producing. Eichenberger is directing from Jill Remensnyder's script about an unemployed college dropout on the verge of divorce who finds herself at her childhood home while her family grieves the death of her father. The film was shot in its entirety in Portland, Oregon over the course of a year. It was previously titled Free For All. Pretty Broken started gaining attention when General Hospital star Tyler Christopher came on board as the male lead opposite Jillian Clare. The film premiered at the 2018 Newport Beach Film Festival.
