MaelstroMedia™
A story engine for the curious, the conscious, and the quietly subversive.
Founded by polymath and performer Martyn Lloyd, MaelstroMedia™ is a multi-format creative studio and transmedia universe builder.
We develop poetic IPs, speculative series, inclusive frameworks, and immersive worlds — all infused with metaphor, meaning, and a wink at the cosmos.
From Meerkat adventures to 27-episode Epics, our stories are built to resonate, disrupt, and endure.
Built on Grit, Fuelled by Vision
MaelstroMedia™ began in a lounge room —
with no team, no funding, and no gatekeepers.
Just one man — quietly coding meaning into the dark —
transforming lived experience into design, and solitude into signal.
If something here flickers for you — a quiet recognition,
a sense of being less alone — you’re warmly invited to begin with:

A solar storm. A fragile system. A handful of strangers caught in the quiet unraveling. Written in five movements — and offered freely.
