If you stick with it the good will come. As an actor, producer, and entrepreneur, Chris DeBlasio, founder of Agency 850 and 850 Entertainment, has an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for filmmaking that will not rest. While living in New Jersey, Chris studied professional acting at night in New York City while also working in sales and advertising during the day. In 2007 he landed roles on several television shows, including One Life to Live, All My Children, Guiding Light, and CSI: NY. After relocating to Los Angeles to pursue acting, Chris realized his true passion for film production and the business side of filmmaking. During his time in Los Angeles, Chris encountered numerous celebrities who were dissatisfied with how their websites displayed on mobile devices. So, he put his entrepreneurial spirit to work and developed a marketing firm to meet this need. It was the marriage of his two passions: Film and Advertising. In the years that followed, Chris worked tirelessly to build Agency 850 into a full-service Atlanta film production and product placement company to the entertainment business. As Owner and CEO, Chris leads Agency 850 in its focus on innovative filmmaking, product placement/integration in television and film, digital marketing, and branding. Written by
