Principal Matters, a short film directed and produced by F. Carl Hansen and written by Natalie D’Alicio, follows the story of two high school teachers, Lydia, played by RespectAbility Entertainment Lab Alumna and an associate producer of the film Diana Elizabeth Jordan, and Sofia, played by D’Alicio, who are trying to fight back against their awful and egotistical boss, Principal Nelson (Michael Charles Vaccaro), after he cuts funding to the school’s art and music program.

After Lydia also loses the vice principal position to Brandon Collins, a guy that thought school ended at twelve according to Sofia, Lydia and Sofia plan to sabotage Nelson in order to get him fired. With the help of the other faculty and someone who dated Nelson, they scope out dirt on Nelson, so they can save the school and their jobs. [continue reading…]
