ABOUT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMEnt
Professional Development, a short film directed by Armin Siljkovic and starring and written by Dave Rosenberg and Jim Todd, has been an official selection in the 25th Beverly Hills Film Festival (2025) and the Julien Dubuque International Film Festival (2025). The film tells the story of a disgruntled, veteran math teacher who crashes the classroom of a young, idealistic film teacher and tells him that things have gotten so bad that he's thought of shooting up the school. Will the younger teacher be able to inspire the veteran to turn his frown upside down in the time span of recess?
