Chalk, a mockumentary about new high school teachers, is easily comparable to the work of Christopher Guest or Ricky Gervais. The film succeeds in making the audience cringe as first-day teachers go down in flames. The film is showing at the Denver Film Festival, and I was able to talk to filmmaker Angie Avarez about influences, filming on location in Austin, and future projects.
