American Teacher premiered at the San Fransisco International Film Festival in May 2011, and will be released to theaters by First Run Features in September. You can learn more about the film and the issues it explores at the film's official web site.

Matt Damon narrates, Dave Eggers and Ninive Calegari produced. I shot about twenty minutes of the film in Texas and D.C. (there are something like eight camera credits all told), and did the color grade. Now go buy a teacher a car.
