[2023·湖南高三联考]During his first year at Stanford, Trace Guzmán won a part in a short film—a comedy about college girls—directed by an upperclass student engaged in the film and media studies program. At the end of a 12hour day on the set of TheIceQueenSociety, which was shot on campus, Guzmán realized that he could happily continue for hours on end.
“I remember thinking this was the best thing in the world,” he said. “Then I stopped and thought,‘oh, this is what it feels like to do something you love. ’ That was the moment I fell in love with acting.”
Guzmán pursued his newfound passion in the classroom through film studies courses, as well as classes on screenwriting and script (脚本) analysis. His favorite class was “Writing the Television Pilot”. To develop comedy writing skills outside the classroom, Guzmán joined the Robber Barons, and the students sketched a comedy group that performed in the Geology Corner Auditorium. As a junior, Guzmán spent the winter quarter studying in Madrid with fellow Stanford students through the Bing Overseas Studies Program.
Guzmán, who was planning to move to Los Angeles to make a career in acting, said he would miss the stimulating conversations and intellectual enthusiasm of Stanford. But he was ready for the next stage of his life and the opportunity to use his art for good.
“I'm a Stanford student and I might shoot too high sometimes,” he said. “Obviously, it's a cliché(陈词滥调) to say I want to make a change in the world. But that's beautiful thing—something a lot of Stanford students want to do. And I think that's awesome.”
