Markus von Groot
Teja was Markus's assistant director. She was initially thrilled to be working with him due to his reputation as a successful director however was surprised by his unrealistic demands of her, such as enlarging a street in a small town for his former movie Obscura. In Chapter 3 she compared working for him to babysitting. They were directing the film Tender Nothings together until his exit.

Seth Levine
In Book 2, Chapter 2, it is revealed that Teja and Seth Levine are collaborating on a comedy movie starring Josh Morello. While they are enthusiastic at first, as soon as they start working on the actual plot, they quickly develop opposing opinions about the direction of the movie. While Teja wants to stress the comedy aspect, Seth wants to show variety and therefore less comedy. This leads to several arguments between them that you are able to witness. They start interrupting each others' sentences and hardly look at each other when they both talk to you. Soon, they avoid being in the same room. In Chapter 15, you help them save their friendship. If you don't choose to let them spend time in an escape room, they will decide to split their work on the movie and to never work together again.

Chris Winters
If Seth and Teja decide to never work together again, they will tell you about their new projects in Book 2, Chapter 16. Teja and Chris Winters consider working together on her new project.
