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
A young man named Evan struggles with his identity and relationships in a small town. He takes up wrestling as a way to connect with others and confront his feelings.

What happens
Jeremy O'Keefe is an American filmmaker. His debut film, Wrestling, was released in 2008. His short film, CLOSURE, was an Official Selection at the Frameline Festival, Southwest Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, the Hollywood Attack of the 50 Foot Reels Film Festival, the Festival Mix Milano and the North Carolina Gay & Lesbian Film Festival. His next film, "Somewhere Slow" starring Jessalyn Gilsig, of "Glee (TV Series)", who was also one of the film's producers won the Best Narrative Feature prize at the 2013 Brooklyn Film Festival and was released theatrically on January 31, 2014. Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times wrote that Somewhere Slow 'is about feeling unknown. Tapping into the near-universal desire for reinvention, Mr. O’Keefe gives us a well-worn story that somehow avoids glaring clichés or forced melodrama.' (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
