Use MEDIA_ROOT/URL for uploads

Not STATIC_*.

This will ease local development so that we can have static files (CSS) served locally but media files (PDFs) served remotely.

there are other ways to make local easy. If the AWS keys are invalid html will render the static files you have locally, maybe try deleting the local API keys or adding a char or two

My current workaround is to comment out STATICFILES_STORAGE and add STATIC_URL='/static/' instead.
