Okay, I haven't seen it yet, but Half Nelson looks like the kind of film I'd get excited about. It's about a young inner-city junior high school teacher whose ideals wither and die in the face of reality, and an unexpected friendship that grows with one of his students. I'm not going to say much more than that - just go check the site and view the trailer.
Half Nelson was preceded by a short film - 'Gowanus, Brooklyn', which was used as a way to workshop a key scene from the full-length screenplay and raise interest in the feature.
