A Teacher is a 2013 American drama film written and directed by Hannah Fidell, in her feature directorial debut.[2] It revolves around a female high school teacher's illicit sexual relationship with a male student that turns from infatuation into obsession. Principal photography for the film took place in Austin, Texas.[3] The film had its premiere at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival on January 20, 2013.[4] The film was released on video on demand on August 20, 2013, prior to receiving a limited release on September 6, 2013, in the United States.[5][6]
While praise was given towards the film's performances, cinematography, score, and its attempt to explore a complex issue, criticisms were reserved over a narrative lack of focus, exposition, and character development. In 2014, it was announced the film would be adapted as a TV series, with Fidell executive producing. Kate Mara became attached to star as the lead and also as an executive producer. A Teacher, the resulting miniseries, premiered on FX on Hulu in November 2020.
