Apparently, Faull is associated with <strong>University of Illinois<\/strong> education professor <strong>Dorothy Espelage<\/strong>, an &#8220;expert on bullying,&#8221; although the report is\u00a0vague as to whether Espelage is involved here. The filmmaker is also working with one other (unidentified) school on this project, an adaptation of his Aussie-geared series called\u00a0&#8220;Stories of Us.&#8221; This is the rare instance when a &#8220;remake&#8221; might actually be useful.
