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

Steamin' + Dreamin': The Grandmaster Cash Story is a 2009 Irish independent comedy film directed by Shaun O' Connor, and written by Con Doyle, Joe Kiely, Conor Stanley and O' Connor. The mockumentary stars Doyle as the title character, a Cork hip-hop artist struggling to achieve recognition in the international hip-hop scene. It also stars Stanley as Cash's rival rapper Dr Feekinstein, and Kiely as Seamus Kelly, the sociology student who directs the film's "documentary". The film also features cameo appearances from Tommy Tiernan and Senator Dan Boyle, as well as many well-known Corkonians appearing as themselves. A sequel, Steamin' + Dreamin' 2: Cash Back was released in November 2011. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
