Real teaching leaves a mark
Take a peek inside the teachers’ lounge in this hilarious glimpse into the lives of high school teachers. In the ‘mockumentary’ comedy style of ‘The Office’ and ‘Best in Show’, Chalk pulls you into the frenetic and awkwardly painful journey of three novice teachers as they navigate one memorable school year.
Director Mike Akel provides a rare and realistic teacher’s perspective into the absurd, provocative and occasionally volatile world of public education. In a country where 50% of teachers quit within the first three years, Chalk delivers an enormous dose of heart, hilarity and hope for America’s most important institution.
