CHALK

In the comedic style of The Office and the films of Christopher Guest, CHALK is a spirited portrait of life in the trenches of that most honorable and frustrating profession…teaching.

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.
