Where the kids are bad, but the teachers are even worse. Welcome to Appleseed Elementary, a school run by a group of dysfunctional elementary school teachers that have absolutely no respect for their jobs and even less for the children they teach. These amoral government workers drink throughout the day, steal from their students, and even take bets on fights in the school yard. The whole school is a complete and utter disaster, but that all changes when a young, bright-eyed, reading teacher named Caitlin Ashmore tries to turn everything around and make Appleseed a positive learning environment for its students. Please join us in premiering Appleseed Elementary and see all 5 episodes.

JERROD CLARK was raised in Macon, Georgia with his sister and writing partner, Kirsten Clark. After he graduated from Lehigh University in 2007, Clark packed up his car and headed out west to pursue a career in entertainment. After an internship at Hyde Park Productions, he landed a job working at Fox Searchlight Pictures. In 2008, Clark met fellow filmmakers Adam Siegel and Steve Tobler. At the time, Siegel was directing spec commercials on the weekends. Tobler and Clark started helping Siegel with his specs, and eventually, the threesome along with his sister, Kirsten, began to work together. In 2010, they formed Hit Parade Productions.
ADAM SIEGEL was born in Chicago and began making movies at the age of 10. Throughout high school and college, he continued to refine his craft by making as many films as possible, and he often held sold out screenings at his school. After graduating from the University of Kansas, Siegel moved directly to Los Angeles and began working as a production assistant on feature films, music videos and commercials. After stints working at a major talent agency and at a movie trailer house, he is now a freelance Director/Editor with vast experience working in commercials, web series, promos, music video, and short films.
