Hanan Harchol talks about his film "About a Teacher."
Born in Israel and raised in the United States, for the past 11 years Hanan Harchol has been a public high school teacher in New York City teaching filmmaking to students who are for the most part socio-economically disadvantaged. "I made this film because I felt that often the portrayal of teachers on film and television was a comedic caricature of the profession. I wanted to show what teachers really go through and begin a discourse on how to better support teachers, and with that, how to better support our disadvantaged student population." Hanan is a New York-based artist, filmmaker, animator, and classical guitarist. ABOUT A TEACHER is his first feature film.
