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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Beckinfield was an ongoing science fiction web series created by actor Bob Gebert, designer Tracy Evans and company CEO Biff van Cleve. Similar to The Guild in that Beckinfield posted new entries in its series online instead of on television, Beckinfield was nonetheless different in that actors can participate from all over the world. The site allowed any user to join for free and carried no advertising. The site (and the series it hosted) were similar to YouTube in that users were able to upload videos, but unlike YouTube in that all the videos were part of an interconnected story.
