He left in 2004 to pursue a professional career in music.<\/p>\n<p>While working at Burks Methodist, he took general education classes at Chattanooga State Community College, then came back to UTC in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Beckett is now working on a documentary titled \u201cBeautiful Faces\u201d about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sargentplasticsurgery.com\/larrysargentmd\"><strong>Larry Sargent,<\/strong><\/a> an acclaimed craniofacial surgeon who lives in Chattanooga and has treated patients around the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are all these kids in our world that have these craniofacial deformities,\u201d Beckett said. \u201cThey\u2019re either born with these syndromes or they\u2019re traumatic injuries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne little girl he treated was kicked in the face by a horse. He was able to use world-class techniques that he\u2019s developed to fix her face. She looks beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beckett said he hopes to release the film sometime in 2023. More than just the plastic surgery aspect of Sargent\u2019s work, though, Beckett said he wants to address its mental health aspect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou see these patients and you see what he does for these children who have these deformities, but nobody really talks about the caretakers and the parents and what they have to go through,\u201d he said. \u201cThe guilt they go through thinking that it was their fault that their kid was born this way, even though it wasn\u2019t their fault.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re really focusing on the surgeon\u2019s journey and how he\u2019s able to provide that hope for these families, for the children and for the parents, for the caretakers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Marty Stuart from Songbirds\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\"src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oD65NfU6LS0?rel=0&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;autohide=1&#038;showinfo=0&#038;controls=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Songbirds: A Documentary&#8221; delves into the historical importance of the guitar museum in Chattanooga.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2022\/10\/emmy-winning-doc-by-utc-alum-to-screen-on-campus\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1105,"featured_media":45936,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[123864,61,3,8244,12777,64,661],"tags":[122143,99174],"class_list":{"0":"post-45931","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-advancement-and-alumni","8":"category-college-of-arts-sciences","9":"category-community","10":"category-honors-and-awards","11":"category-music-college-of-arts-sciences","12":"category-news","13":"category-students","14":"tag-dagan-beckett","15":"tag-songbirds","16":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
