Question

What is it like being a film star? What is it like n front of the camera? Students from Steamboat Spring Middle School in the US could tell you exactly what it’s like. They recently got a taste of the life of a star.

A local movie company wanted to produce a film. All the actors in this film were to be students. Fourteen students were chosen from the school. The film, called Ruby vs Wolfgang, was based on the story of little Red Riding Hood(小红帽). It came with a twist(改变), however---the story was told from the perspective(看法) of the wolf.

Zoe Walsh, a seventh-grader, signed up to do behind- the- scenes work. But she soon found herself in front of the camera instead. She played a strange middle school student in the film.

“It is just for fun,” she told the Steamboat Today. “Just pretending that you’re someone else.”

But there were also difficulties. It was very cold during shooting. Students had to put up with snow and icy wind.

Lack(缺乏) of experience was another problem. The director Michael Staley said he tried to “help each student bring out the wolf ---or Whatever animal they representing---in themselves”

Erus Harrington, an eighth---grader, said he played a “nice, silly British guy”. He learned the British accent(口音) all at home.

“I just a kind of taught myself how to do it by watching videos,” he said “It makes me feel good after I do it because I’m proud of myself.”

The students will watch themselves on the big screen for the first time during the film festival at a local high school in May.

“I’m probably going to laugh at myself,” said Zach, the brother of Zoe.
