“Down the Rabbit Hole”
If there is anything, it would be umm… I was always kind of fascinated by the behind the scenes stuff of film and when I was younger my brother and I would watch the Marvel movies and other superhero stuff. He really enjoyed the content and I think I was really interested in what’s going on behind the scenes so the way the characters are getting traded around by different corporations, the intellectual property transactions and the way that all of that stuff works has always fascinated me so pursuing film is a way for me to kind of get more into that and since then it has grown and I think I am much more. I have like a more, or a better sense of artistic literacy now obviously then when I was younger. I think that I am kinda able to parse through and more interested in how different brands are working now. I don’t know. It’s just…kinda spirals, like with anything else and I’m down the rabbit hole for sure.

We Collect School Stories
School Story Lab is a student-run lab directed by Professor Susan D. Blum at the University of Notre Dame. We want to provide a place for people from all countries to talk about their experiences in all levels of schools: the joys and fears, triumphs and shame, friendships and loneliness, curiosity and boredom, and everything else that accompanies the experience of school. School is about what people learn, how people learn, what they don’t learn, who they learn with. We want to know what it feels like. Tell us your stories!
What brought you to this moment, and what is next?
Guiding light of this study is to examine how did you come to study what you are studying, what brought you to this educational path, and what does this mean for you in the future? What factors (wealth, family, passion, societal expectations) have shaped your educational journey?
