Graduation Spotlight Backgorund

2024 Senior Spotlight

Taro d'Aronville

What is your career goal?
To be a film director/producer and film music composer. Maybe also doing something new in the realm of media technology... I want to create ripples in the fabric of reality and catalyse change for the better.

What was your favorite Stanford OHS course and why?
CRA. The whole philosophy thing really clicked for me in the first semester of the course. I realised how philosophical ideas are, at least in part, the underlying backbone of science fiction. Perhaps one day I can weave philosophy into a story as seamlessly as Le Guin did with Omelas.

What are some accomplishments you are most proud of?
Surviving five years of OHS is an accomplishment in itself, I suppose. Other than that, I'd say being highly commended in the BBC's Young Composer Competition twice, as well as having the honour of producing OHS' school song.
