SCHOOLED ~THE FILM

What happend to the person you were going to be?

Preview for the new indie film SCHOOLED, an earthy character study about a teacher in crisis who discovers a democratic school that teaches him to connect with kids as people.

Schooled it’s a serious character study about a high school teacher who pulls himself out of a life crisis when he spends some time hanging around a Sudbury model school.

And I know all this because I wrote and directed the film.

I was deeply influenced by the Sudbury Press books and audio lectures (some I’ve listened to dozens of times), and influenced by the work of A.S. Neill, Wilhelm Reich and several other intense thinkers on personal growth.

The community at Cedarwood Sudbury School very graciously let the lead actor and I hang out there for a day, and that experience directly informed the JC meeting in the movie. An alumni from Fairhaven named Ben Umstead was a HUGE part of our production behind-the-scenes and on-screen for several scenes. There is a staff member from the Summerhill-inspired Play Mountain Place in the film too.
