Rachel Hart Cabello - Huntington University & L.A. Film Studies Center alumna with a focus in writing, producing and casting based in the South Bend Area. She graduated from Huntington University in 2018.

Dawn Davis - Dawn grew up in the Midwest, where she started performing in dinner theater at age nine and forced her younger sisters to star in original shows that she directed. She was very active in community theater and went to Huntington College on a theater grant. She graduated in 1998 and switched her focus to Directing and Producing. She writes a blog at DawnDavis.net in which she states "The world doesn’t need more hollow bullshit “content” made by corporations. The world needs to remember that human beings are walking around with souls. Humans out of touch with their souls will inflict unimaginable pain on each other." a sentiment that rings true with the essence of Tea on the Beach.

Matt Webb - Writer, director, and producer, joined the Huntington University team in 2016 as Instructor of Film Production. He received his BA in Theater at Huntington University the same year as Dawn in 1998.

They moved to Pasadena, California, where they lived for 12 years before coming to the Midwest and residing in Huntington with their son Jaq, and daughters, Solveig and Evie.
