In On Task, we experience the life of Erick Silva, a twenty-five year old social studies teacher at a charter high school in San Jose, CA. From his after hours life planning and grading to the unrelenting, yet rewarding hours he spends with his students, this film captures the experience of a teacher in an underserved, largely Latinx community. Shot and edited to emphasize the overly-stimulating nature of working with students on a daily basis, On Task eschews common representative tropes of teachers, schools, and education.
