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
Mama, I Want to Sing! is a 2012 musical drama film starring Ciara, written and directed by Charles Randolph-Wright, an adaptation of the 1983 off-Broadway gospel stage musical of the same name written and produced by Vy Higginsen and Ken Wydro. It was the final film produced by Fox Faith prior to its dissolving. The film is based on the life story of Higginsen's sister, Doris Troy, a preacher's daughter who sang in a church choir before being discovered by James Brown. Ciara made her feature film debut in the lead role of Doris Wine/Amara. Reportedly completed in June 2009, an official trailer released in September 2009. The film was set to premiere in New York City that month, but was canceled due to technical issues. Following several planned and canceled dates, Mama, I Want to Sing! was finally released straight-to-DVD on February 14, 2012. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
