Our Work
Last of a Dyng Seed is a media education studio focused on narrative literacy—the ability to recognize, interpret, and intentionally shape the stories that influence identity, belief, and behavior. We partner with schools, reentry programs, and community organizations to deliver film-based workshops and pilot programs that support reflection, accountability, and long-term thinking.
Why Film?: Film is one of the most powerful narrative forces in modern culture. Long before individuals are taught how to analyze stories, they are already being shaped by them. Our work uses guided film analysis as a practical tool for slowing down perception, examining belief systems, and building narrative awareness in accessible, engaging ways.
