Founded by work/life partners Carol Ray Hartsell and Sean Crespo, former late night staff and social writers (“Full Frontal with Samantha Bee,” “Late Show with Stephen Colbert”) Space Beach specializes in comedy with brains and heart and all the other good organs.

They co-wrote the upcoming film "Miracle On 74th Street" starring Jill Kargman, David Krumholtz, Eugene Cordero, Justin Bartha and Jenny Mollen. Their new screenplay, a broad ensemble comedy, "Divorce Cruise," will be out for first looks soon. They  developed two science-comedy pilots starring astrophysicist and hilarious host Dr. Moiya McTier. Their pilot “Pro-Tem” was a semifinalist in the Golden Script Competition and a Second Rounder in the LaunchPad Pilot Competition. Carol made her feature film directing debut with the indie romcom “Love…Reconsidered” starring Sophie Von Haselberg, Colton Haynes and Javier Muñoz. It was released in February 2024 by Good Deed Entertainment and you can watch it on Amazon.  They have worked with BBC, Peacock, TBS, Amazon Prime, Jax Media, Embassy Row, PBS, and Electric Hotdog to name a few.

Their latest creation, the micro comedy “That’s A Lot,” stars Sean Crespo and Moiya McTier playing alternate timeline versions of their real selves as security guards at Private Equity Bros, the last movie and TV studio left in the West, in a world slightly crappier than our  already pretty crappy one. Inspired by the original pilot the “Dan & Sean Show” (Dakota Pictures, 2002), the fast-paced, Gen X-meets-Gen Z comedy continues steadily building its fan base for its darkly prescient satire of how generational disconnect and a crumbling economy in a country run by tyrants and buffoons makes for strange work fellows.
