Other Work
The following are a handful of pieces I have written in my time at Texas Tech and other academic papers.
Final Thesis
Spring 2024
My final thesis paper for completing my undergraduate degree at Texas Tech. The paper discusses how the film festival can be used for a plethora of different means, including education and general appreciation. The paper poses a hypothetical film festival that would discuss different films that have exceptional uses of pop music, and how they could be packaged into a festival experience.
