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.

It was filmed at various real locations, such as Carley’s house and bedroom, skating rink, classrooms and hospitals in Toronto. The film stars Carley’s real-life friend Sarah Fisher. Throughout the film, Fisher breaks the fourth wall, using the very words from the real Allison’s blog posts and YouTube performances.
