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

Fast Company is a 1918 American silent comedy film directed by Lynn Reynolds and starring Juanita Hansen, Edward Cecil, Lon Chaney and Franklyn Farnum. (Lon Chaney had a relatively small role in this film, but the review from Motion Picture News slammed him for "overacting".) The film is today considered lost. Co-writer Waldemar Young later went on to script a number of Lon Chaney's later silent films, such as The Blackbird, The Unknown and The Unholy Three (1925 version) and collaborated with director Tod Browning as well.
