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

What happens

Soul Mates is a 2014 Australian comedy series created by and starring Christiaan Van Vuuren and Nicholas Boshier, co-written by Van Vuuren's brother Connor Van Vuuren, screened on ABC2. It features the same characters, as friends who met in a different era, as Bondi Hipsters (2011). Soul Mates follows the story of a couple of friends who are continually drawn together across the course of human history. In 2014, they are fashion-obsessed hipsters from Bondi Beach. In prehistoric times, they experience all of life's firsts as a couple of cavemen. In 1981 they are two New Zealand secret agents known as the Kiwi Assassins. In the year 2093 they are working in a time travel agency called Ticky Time Tours, tackling time travel conundrums. Previous online projects by Van Vuuren and Boshier include Bondi Hipsters, Beached Az, Trent from Punchy and The Fully Sick Rapper. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
