Pensioner Turns His Shed Into A Vintage Movie Theatre

A British pensioner has transformed his garden shed into a theater with 1940's decor and authentic seating. This cinematic creation by Don Parr is a tribute to the picture house that he worked in as a youngster.

Fully equipped with a 78” x 39” screen and complemented with a hi-tech surround sound, people come from far and wide to watch the classic movies he screens in his garden shed cinema.

Implications - The little movie theater is six meters one way and three another. It holds comfortable brown-colored seats for 14 people. The exterior of the shed is simple and looks similar to a log cabin. Once inside, the little cabin is magically transformed into a vintage theater filled with colorful lights and red-fabric curtains.
