Take a peek inside the teachers’ lounge in this hilarious glimpse into the awkward lives of high school teachers. Drawing from the mock-reality show style of “The Office” or “Arrested Development,” writer/director Mike Akel and writer/co-star Chris Mass, both actual teachers, mix comedy with a bittersweet commentary on the obstacles facing our public school teachers. Surrounded by wonderfully deadpan, real life students, the cast delivers ingeniously subtle performances as teachers struggling to win “Teacher of the Year,” decipher school policy, or just make it until the bell rings.
