Inspired by a love of cinema started when he worked as a projectionist at age 16, the 81 year old British pensioner spent £10,000 to convert his 18′ x 9′ shed into a fully-outfitted movie theater complete with genuine salvaged cinema seats and a 6′ 6″ x 3′ 3″ screen now updated by Blu-Ray surround sound.

“It’s very rare I actually go to the real cinema because I have this one just a few metres away from my door.” said Parr. His theater attracts a stream moviegoers who like the quant ambiance of a cinema in a back garden.
