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

Paper Heart is a 2009 American romantic comedy film directed by Nicholas Jasenovec, who co-wrote the screenplay with Lo Mutuc. The film stars Mutuc and Michael Cera as fictionalized versions of themselves based on their rumored relationship, though Mutuc has said they never dated. The plot for the film is based on Mutuc’s original idea of a documentary, which Jasenovec suggested would be accentuated with a fictional storyline. The film premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
