ABOUT US
At DBOYD MEDIA, we envision the future of television—where authentic stories transition seamlessly from script to screen. We are dedicated to amplifying real voices, writers, and creatives, positioning ourselves at the forefront of the cultural zeitgeist as we reshape the television landscape from the ground up. In an industry often dominated by reboots and spin-offs, DBOYD MEDIA proudly champions original, diverse, and foundational stories that transform the way people think and live.
Our founder, Derett Boyd Jr., was inspired to create DBOYD MEDIA because he rarely saw characters like himself or those he knew represented authentically on screen. This lack of representation motivated him to change the narrative and tell the stories that desperately needed to be told–knowing that writers in the room often didn’t look like him.
As we embark on this journey, DBOYD MEDIA is committed to standing the test of time, aiming to be at the apex of Hollywood for decades to come.
Derett (he/him) is a gay Black man dedicated to seeing an authentic representation of himself and others like him at the forefront of media, driving the cultural zeitgeist toward positive change.
His commitment to telling genuine stories centered around Blackness and queerness is paramount, especially when it comes to sharing these narratives responsibly. Influenced by his upbringing—raised by strong Black women—and his experiences as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, Derett has showcased his writing talent across multiple genres including drama, comedy, supernatural, crime, and more. He has also collaborated on independent short films with friends and colleagues.
In addition to his creative work, Derett has built a successful career in PR, partnering with major companies like HBO, TikTok, Meta, TIDAL, SoFi, and others.
In his free time, Derett loves to watch television (obviously), write songs, try new cuisine, and conquer escape rooms–because if he’s not figuring out some sort of puzzle, he finds life a bit too mundane.
