You need to tell it to serve your media files. In your urls.py:

from django.conf import settings
if settings.DEBUG == False:
    urlpatterns += patterns('',
        url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {
            'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT,
        }),
        url(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {
            'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT,
        }),
)

Write:

import re
from urllib.parse import urlsplit

from django.conf import settings
from django.core.exceptions import ImproperlyConfigured
from django.urls import re_path
from django.views.static import serve

def static(prefix, view=serve, **kwargs):
    return [
        re_path(r'^%s(?P<path>.*)$' % re.escape(prefix.lstrip('/')), view, kwargs=kwargs),
    ]

Then in urls.py:

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    ...
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
