🎥 Synopsis

Jonathan Milton is directing Teacher’s Pet (2024), a taut psychological thriller focusing on the blurred edges of obsession and the tense aftermath that follows. A new student by the name of Tim Henry transfers to Tara Varner’s high school and, like a hurricane hitting a landscape, wreaks havoc on vulnerable teachers like Tara.

In the movie, a high school teacher Sh’Neil Gaskin-Kerr is played by Sh’Neil Gaskin-Kerr. Her life may seem poised and tranquil on the outside, but she is forcefully dragged into a perilous and consuming obsession. Griffin Combs plays her student who seems to be smart, attentive, and calm, but is ultimately a deceptive personality waiting to unleash chaos.

It becomes painfully clear how deadly infatuation is when everything slips into obsession.
