Hall Monitors
Autumn Academy's Senior Hall Monitor Nolan Hoffman is forced to do the impossible when he learns he must train Abbie Howard---the school's most notorious troublemaker and Nolan's most bitter rival---to become the school's newest hall monitor.
With both their reputations on the line and their futures uncertain, Nolan and Abbie must put aside their differences and find a way to work together to get what they need, before the clock runs out.
'Hall Monitors' is the third and final film in the 'Autumn Academy Trilogy', a series of connected films taking place in the same fictional school.

Official Premiere
Tope Babalola is a 23-year-old Manitoban filmmaker and screenwriter. Babalola has always been interested in film, television, and the creative process. At the age of six he began composing short stories, and between the ages of twelve and fifteen published three novels. His venture into filmmaking and editing began around age eleven with filming and editing home videos for personal entertainment. Babalola began to further his interest in film by taking film courses in high school, as well as post-secondary intensive film production programs.
From 2016 to 2020, Babalola wrote, directed, edited, and produced 5 feature-length films with the students of Springs Christian Academy (SCA), with 'Hall Monitors' being the most recent of these films.
'Hall Monitors' is a project where we push boundaries to see how much we can do with the little we have. With limited camera equipment, a shoestring budget, and well-done performances, our Springs Christian Academy students explore the basics of filmmaking and storytelling, while growing more confident in their own abilities as performers.
