"Some write. I show. Visual storytelling is my passion." Eddie DeBartolo
DeBartolo Studios seeks to reach a wide range of audience in our storytelling. Our hope at DeBartolo Studios is to be recognized and valued for the quality and creativity of our storytelling. Carving our niche into the film industry has begun with first showcasing to our audience our first short film, Fear Thy Forest, written and directed by us in Cartersville, Georgia, USA. Our end goal is to keep winning at the film festivals and then to also collaborate with a large production company to bring our short film concepts to the big screen, hopefully, to a theater near you. In the category of winner, Fear Thy Forest is the greater recipient of national and international 2020-2021-2022 film festival awards.
