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

The Maestro is a 2018 American historical drama directed, produced by Adam Cushman and David Phillips and written by C.V. Herst, the real-life son of the film's protagonist Jerry Herst. The film features Xander Berkeley as composer Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, an Italian immigrant who arrived in Los Angeles in the thirties after evading Mussolini's Italy. The Maestro premiered at the Heartland International Film Festival in 2017. The film was acquired for distribution by Freestyle Releasing and had a limited theatrical release in Los Angeles. The film also features actor Jon Polito as fictional MGM executive Herbert Englehardt in what would be Polito's final performance. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
