Thomas DeCarlo
Filmmaker, web developer, and entrepreneur, Thomas DeCarlo is making waves in the film world through his independent animation studio, revolutionary virtual collaboration and production management platform, and his efforts to empower filmmakers through his leading role in the development of Indie Films Online, a public wiki of independent films and filmmakers.
Filmmaker
Indie-style Filmmaking Meets 3D Animation
Thomas launched DeCarlo Animation in 2018 with the release of his first major animated short. The writer, director, producer, and animator of the film, Thomas won numerous awards at festivals around the country.
Since then, DeCarlo Animation has grown into a dedicated story incubator, developer, and producer of 3D-animated films designed for an audience that has outgrown the ordinary.
The studio’s slate of bold, original science fiction stories span multiple genres, from a zany holiday comedy to a post-apocalyptic action thriller. In an industry often driven by fear and formulaic “coming-of-age” tales, DeCarlo Animation dares to be different.

Revolutionizing Virtual Collaboration for visual entertainment industries
Thomas is the Founder and CEO of Collabrix, a virtual collaboration and data synchronization platform that streamlines communication across the entire production pipeline.
Web Developer
Co-Founder and Lead Developer of IndieFilmsOnline
As the founding President of the Coalition of Independent Cinematic Artists, Thomas led the development of the nonprofit’s flagship service, IndieFilmsOnline.org (IFO).
IFO is a public wiki that has been designed from the ground up to make independent films more accessible to the public. The platform works to empower the independent film community by leveraging its centralized film data both on and off-platform (e.g. embedding cast/crew data on an external website). IFO also provides unique tools to help independent filmmakers connect with audiences and each other.
