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
Fugitive Dreams is a 2020 American black-and-white independent road movie with elements of magical realism. It was written and directed by Jason Neulander, and stars April Matthis and Robbie Tann, and features the performances of Scott Shepherd, O-Lan Jones, and David Patrick Kelly. Fugitive Dreams was publicly released in 2024. The film centers on a journey across a surreal America by two homeless people. It discards conventional narrative storytelling by blurring the lines between what the characters experience as real and as dreams. A key element in the film is Peter Simonite's painterly camerawork which is inspired by road movies of the classic Hollywood era and the late-70s and early-80s, such as Down By Law, Alice in the Cities, and Paris, Texas.
