TEACHER

SYNOPSIS
Laura is a teaching assistant. She can't help but make fun of her student's
overwritten and incomprehensible essays. Jacob, one of Laura's English 101
students, over uses some especially silly and sexually charged language. The
jokes quickly snowball and Laura is dared to write suggestive comments as
the feedback to Jacob's essay. Laura gets caught up in a dirty email
exchange disguised as suggestions on how Jacob can improve his writing. Soon
she's in over her head realizing that she's actually sort of attracted to
the kid.

TEACHER is a dramatic comedy. It's a story about school, attraction, and
taking risks.
