Local Film Maker’s Second Feature Now Streaming

‘Tea on the Beach,’ formerly known as Patterns, is now available for streaming on mainstream platforms. The feature film is the second released by Forester Film, coming on the heels of A Carpenter’s Prayer, released in theaters nationwide in 2024.

Filmed entirely in Northeast Indiana, Tea on the Beach tells the story of three estranged siblings who return to their family home after the death of their mother to decide what to do about their father, who suffers from dementia. Over one emotional weekend, they uncover long-buried secrets and rediscover the fragile threads that still tie them together.

Tea on the Beach’s production team features a heavy Huntington University alumni presence, written by Rachel Hart Cabello (2018), directed by Dawn Davis (1998) and produced by Dr. Lance Clark (1989) and Matt Webb (1998) . This SAG feature film was created through Forester Film LLC and stands as a powerful example of the University’s nationally recognized digital media arts program, where students gain real-world experience through the capstone film program — training the next generation of storytellers in the No. 1 Christian film program in the nation.

Tea on the Beach can be streamed through Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Google Play and YouTube.
