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

I'll Make You Happy is a New Zealand film released in 1999. It was directed by Athina Tsoulis and starred Jodie Rimmer as a prostitute who plans a heist from her pimp. Also appearing were Michael Hurst, Rena Owen and Jennifer Ward-Lealand along with a cameo from Lucy Lawless. The film's script was written by Anne Tsoulis for the South Australian Film Corporation but after they abandonded the film the rights went back to Tsoulis. Her sister Athina Tsoulis re-wrote the script and found funding to shoot the film. The New Zealand Film Corporation funded post-production after they saw a rough cut of the film. The film was shot on 16mm with shooting took place over a period of just over 4 weeks with cast and crew deferring their fees. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
