Former Revere student Claire Dew pursing her Hollywood Dream

By Melissa Moore-Randall

When Claire Dew was a fifth-grade student at the former McKinley School, she constantly told her teacher and classmates she wanted to go to Hollywood. No one ever doubted her ability to one day be in front or behind the camera. When her teacher invited Fox 25 news anchor Gene Lavanchy and former anchor Doug “VB” Goudie to spend the day as “teachers,” Claire was featured on the Fox 25 segment, and thus her “Hollywood” career began.

Dew, 29, is the founder of Dew Media Productions, which is a broadcast media production company that specializes in long form and short form media. “We Dew Media,” which is the company’s tagline, handles productions from pre- through postproduction. Some of their most notable clients and partners are Kevin Hart, Na’im Lynn, Diplo, Rick Mahorn, Lauren Gray, Vice TV, Warner Brothers, MTV, Advertising Week New York, Hartbeat productions, Netflix and Kin Community.

“Dew Media is a creative force in the entertainment industry. With years of experience and a passion for storytelling, we specialize in bringing bold, new ideas to life. Our team comprises talented writers, directors, producers, and artists who understand what it takes to create compelling and engaging content. Whether it’s a feature film, television series, or digital content, we approach every project with an eye for detail and a commitment to excellence. At Dew Media, storytelling has the power to change the world. So, we’re dedicated to creating content that challenges the status quo, pushes boundaries, and inspires audiences. So, whether you’re a studio executive, a brand looking for innovative marketing solutions, or a storyteller with a vision of your own, we’re here to help you bring your ideas to life,” added Dew.

Claire was born to Nigerian-born parents in Worcester, Massachusetts, and is one of four sisters. She grew up in Revere, where she attended the former McKinley School until moving to Boxford in middle school. A graduate of Masconomet Regional High, Dew attended Franklin Pierce University, where she majored in Mass Communications with a minor in Public Relations.

“My plan is to become the next Walt Disney and go beyond his legacy. I plan to create a media production company that exceeds the boundaries and box in which it is in now. I plan to unearth some of the hidden gems and stories that have been lost or forgotten and expand on the authenticity of human life, culture and innovation. I strongly believe that if you have a dream that you should actively pursue it! And if you have to bet on anyone, always bet on yourself!”
