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

Those People is a 2015 American romantic drama film written and directed by Joey Kuhn and starring Jonathan Gordon, Jason Ralph, and Haaz Sleiman. The cast also includes Britt Lower, Meghann Fahy in her film debut, Chris Conroy, Daniel Gerroll, and Allison Mackie. Kuhn has described the film as having been inspired by his own experience falling in love with his best friend at college, as well as by his fascination with the story of Bernie Madoff's son Mark, who died by suicide two years after his father's arrest. Those People had its world premiere at the Seattle International Film Festival on May 16, 2015. Distributed by Wolfe Releasing, the film opened in theaters in New York City and Los Angeles on May 6, 2016, and was released on DVD and video on demand on June 14. During its festival run, the film won the Audience Award for Outstanding Feature Film at the 2015 NewFest: New York Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgender Film Festival, as well as the Audience Award for Best First US Dramatic Feature at the 2015 Outfest Film Festival. The film was nominated for Outstanding Film – Limited Release at the 28th GLAAD Media Awards in 2017. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
