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

Shot in the Dark is an American documentary television series that premiered on Netflix on November 17, 2017. The eight-episode first season explores the story of stringers (freelance news writers or photographers) in Los Angeles, California. The series follows three companies that do stringing in the Los Angeles TV news market. It follows stringing companies OnScene.TV, LoudLabs LLC, and RMGNews as they compete to get the shot that sells to the news. The show features the same subject matter and many of the same people as the 2007 series Stringers: LA. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
