Small Screen Machine is the new video on demand streaming service brought to you by the team behind the Screen Machine mobile cinema. It allows customers to enjoy the kinds of films Screen Machine would normally programme, as well as those they don’t but believe are something special, without having to wait for a visit, and in the comfort of your own home.
Small Screen Machine began life at the start of lockdown in March 2020 as weekly TV recommendations for Screen Machine customers, but the lockdown has also caused a revolution in the way films are viewed. The Screen Machine team know that many of their customers not only enjoy films for free on terrestrial TV, but also on streaming platforms such as Netflix and Amazon. Recent technological developments presented Screen Machine with the opportunity to start their own video on demand streaming service with films selected by the team that has been choosing films for customers for more than 20 years.
Small Screen Machine is Screen Machine’s small friend. It’s an addition to the service that allows us to offer customers great films in between visits, or the chance to watch a film you might have missed or wasn’t screened in your area.
