A Teacher's Nightmare


A teacher faces his greatest fear: A pupil is rating the teachers - and teacher Maier is fearing that he is inadequate. Is it really just a nightmare or is it real?
On 25th of April 1996 the Offener Kanal Hamburg broadcasted only films and discussions about school. A Teacher's Nightmare was also broadcasted from time to time during broadcast pauses. The film was shot in my school (Heinrich-Hertz school).

Info
Harald Weiß, my video teacher, helped me finding a suitable actress for the film. Vera Brösig did very well!
Two of my teachers played the remaining roles: Harald Weiß was my teacher in the elective subject Video. My final film in that subject was Blind integration. Etzard Müller teaches Latin, he was my class teacher in class 12 and 13. Both teachers are quite good actors.
The end credits were written on the class blackboard.
I did a second film which also features two teachers, but was never finished: Murphy's Printer.
Funny notes
There was a single scene which was shot outside the rooms when the teacher faces his pupil for the last time. Some of the other teacher's who were not aware that a movie is shot, were trying to hide themselves in order to not appear on the movie - they didn't quite succeed, though.
Type of film
Realistic, three actors.
