Children from Wedmore First School were on the big screen of Wells Cinema when their self-made film was shown.

Year 3 pupils took parents and staff to the private premiere on Friday morning of their five-minute film When I Close My Eyes.

The pupils made the film when the Friends of Wedmore First School got a First Light Award grant from the UK Film Council to put their imagination into celluloid.

Three experts were brought in to school children during workshops.

Filmmaker Sara Fletcher taught concept, planning and demonstrated filming before children used super 8 and digital film.

Animator and illustrator Dorry Spikes made puppets with the pupils for the film's animated credits and showed how to bring them to life.

Finally Josh Randall taught how to create sound for the film and how to edit the feature.

A spokesman for the school said: "This has been an exciting project for the children and it is a fantastic culmination of the project that they will be able to see their film with staff and parents on the big screen

"We would also like to thank First Light, g39, Second Site and Wells Cinema for their support."
