Mary is a school teacher who slacks off at her job; always trying to get ahead while doing the least amount of work. Mary's boss is about to give her a promotion, but the promotion comes at a very sinful price.
While The Teacher's Lounge isn't a "What were you thinking?" film, it is a film with a terrific story idea that never really gels into a terrific short film.The words, created jointly by director Marvin Suarez and the cast, are all spoken yet lack that certain spark of intentionality and tension. It's not that Deja Aramburu's Mary needs to act as outlandishly as did Cameron Diaz in Bad Teacher, but rather than slacking much of her behavior seems to come from a place of distraction or exhaustion.

I see Hitchcock as a technical director who masterfully weaves storytelling with cinematic techniques to keep audiences on edge." 9. Why do you think people are obsessed with being scared?
