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.

Director Statement

'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.
