STORIES are worth CELEBRATING.
MEDIA PARTY was created by screenwriter DUSTIN CLENDENEN as a vehicle for transformative storytelling.
Recognizing that we live in a society made entirely of myths and narratives, the company harnesses media to inspire greater visions of the past, present, and future, and expand possibilities for life on Earth.
This idea is born from Dustin's own journey from rural Illinois, where he witnessed how propaganda poisoned his community. MEDIA PARTY is dedicated to the opposite: championing stories that challenge patriarchy and oppressive systems, and illuminate our inherent unity under the surface of conflict and division.
Operating at the intersection of art and purpose, Dustin brings his expertise in screenwriting and media strategy to every project. MEDIA PARTY actively seeks partnerships with directors, producers, media companies and other creatives who share a vision for stories that matter, offering a full suite of creative and strategic services to bring these vital messages to life.
