Gone Before Roll Call

About this Short Film

This mockumentary follows a documentary crew investigating a bizarre mystery at Hume Valley School, where teachers have been mysteriously disappearing over the past three months. As the crew interviews students, CRTs and the few remaining teachers, everyone has a different theory about what is really happening. Some believe the teachers have gone on strike, others think aliens are involved, while a few are convinced something even stranger is taking place. As the investigation continues, the theories become more ridiculous, the evidence grows more confusing, and teachers continue to vanish without explanation. Blending deadpan interviews, news reports, security footage and comedic reenactments, the film builds towards an unexpected ending that leaves viewers wondering if the documentary crew might be the next to disappear.
