Young actors from the Spotted Talent agency hit the red carpet on Sunday, April 3.
After ten weeks of term, they were invited to the screening at the Roseate hotel to view the culmination of their work.
Reading’s own Winston Ellis, star of Pirates of the Caribbean and The Dark Knight, joined the children walking the red carpet for the first time.
The younger class starred in a film called Ice Cream, with the older class starring in a film called Incognito, both of which were screened to the actors, along with their family and friends.
Spotted Talent, the screen acting school, also offers the opportunity of industry representation and works as an agency for the actors.
The screen acting classes are split into two age groups, one for children aged 6-8 and and one for those aged 9-14.
Classes included character development, screen combat, eyeline work, theatre acting, and how to cry on camera.
They will now go into their second term, which will last until Sunday, July 3.
The second term will see children working with US acting coaches as they cover vocal projection and radio work, news and weather presenting, autocue work, and even podcasting and online media.
Children from the agency have been selected to work on projects with Coca Cola and Asda.
More recently, the agency’s own Ben Prout took a role in the second series of Netflix’s Bridgerton.
Though the classes are nearly at capacity, there are still a few spaces left for the second term, which begins on Sunday, April 24.
A new academic year begins in September, with classes taking place at the School Green Centre in Shinfield.
