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.

What happens

Middle Men is a 2009 American black comedy-drama film directed by George Gallo and written by Gallo and Andy Weiss. It is based on the experiences of Christopher Mallick, who was previously associated with the internet billing company Epoch and was the founder of ePassporte. Mallick was accused of stealing millions of dollars from his customers at ePassporte to fund the film's development. It stars Luke Wilson, Giovanni Ribisi, Gabriel Macht and James Caan.
