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

She's Dating the Gangster is a 2014 Philippine coming-of-age romantic comedy drama film directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina from a story and screenplay written by Carmi G. Raymundo and Charlene Grace Bernardo, based on the Pop Fiction book of the same name originally published on CandyMag.com's Teen Talk section, which was popularized on Wattpad by Bianca Bernardino under her pen name SGwannaB. The film stars Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla, together with Dawn Zulueta and Richard Gomez in their first film since Saan Ka Man Naroroon two decades prior. A co-production between ABS-CBN Film Productions and Summit Media, with Star Cinema handling its distribution, it was theatrically released on July 16, 2014, as part of its 20th founding anniversary presentation.
