is this britain\'s smallest cinema? one of the country\'s last video rental shops manages to cling on by transforming itself into a tiny movie theatre  -  video projector rental

The last remaining video rental store in the UK is still trying to stick to it after its owner decided to turn it into the country's smallest cinema.
The 20 th century movie in Bristol is still open, although on-
Demand sites like Netflix and Amazon Prime will shut down most rental stores.
This small store is one of the largest collections of films in the UK, with 20,000 movies on the shelves.
It made only £ 160 in profits last year, but now, 38-year-old boss David Taylor has found a new way to boost the business.
He used his amateur woodworking skills to turn the shop into a micro-enterprise.
A cinema with 18 seats
Mr Taylor said the joint venture would be "like an automatic record machine" where customers could choose the DVD they wanted to watch and choose their two --hour slot.
He said: "When I first came here 16 years ago, the dvd was still there, but most of it was video.
We have about 1,500 videos and the rest are DVD and Blu-ray.
Can't find VHS stuff on DVD, we have a movie called Spider strategy, which is a very rare Italian movie that has never been released except for the video.
There is no other way to see it.
The 20th-century film is located in the middle of Bristol, located in a 500-year-
But there are still 10 new releases each week, including the latest Star Wars and trolls.
Customers often come in to appreciate collections or pet cats, but sometimes rent only one or two VHS movies a week, Mr. Taylor said.
He estimates that hundreds of customers come in every week to rent movies from the door, twice the number of people who come in to watch movies.
This includes amateur filmmakers presenting their work to Frien, hen parties and groups of film lovers with special interests.
This is very informal, said David.
The quality of the photos is very good. .
I have never heard of anyone else doing something similar.
Some rental shops sell movie souvenirs, a bit like Lonely Planet.
Some people start selling vapes but I want to stay in my field of expertise.
Taylor and two other employees bought their old boss in 2010.
He said he just wanted to get rid of it in exchange for our overdue VAT bill.
We worked a lot for free and did other work.
We paid off our debts and rent about five years ago and moved out of Clifton.
Last year, we made a profit of 100 after wages rose.
This is the labor of love.
Everyone has invested more than they should do.
People want to see it struggling.
He is proud to help customers find a movie that they will love to watch and says it's cheaper to rent a DVD or Blu-ray movie from a store than via Amazon Prime or other online providers.
'We can save them time to look at things and turn them off, 'he said.
We rent less than half the price online.
"Netflix has so many things but they are not on file.
They have been getting rid of it.
"Netflix is fine if you really don't care what you're watching, you just want to turn off the TV.
"We serve those who choose to watch the content.
They might want to see all the background of the director.
We're interested in Claire Dennis right now.
You won't be able to find it without using the flash flood.
There are two kinds of customers
Use the hour slot of the cinema to browse the shelves before choosing what they want to see.
Mr. Taylor said the film thing made it possible for us.
This is most of our income.
"It's more of a record player, you have a two-hour time, and people often go to the bar at hand to think about what they're going to choose.
"The seats were donated to the film company by the nearby arena theater, despite the old --
The youngest employee is only 17 years old.
'I think it reminds people of a different era,' says Taylor.
