In 1995 Chris relocated to Los Angeles to work on the film The Devil's Advocate, followed by Mad City for Warner Brothers, The Out of Towners for Paramount Studios, and the ground breaking "first of its kind" live-action animation Dinosaur for Walt Disney Studios.

From 2000-2005, Chris was called on by Academy Award-winning writer/director/producer, James Cameron to supervise production for Earthship Productions. The company produced the two-hour LIVE broadcast event entitled Last Mysteries of Titanic, the groundbreaking documentary Expedition: Bismarck for The Discovery Channel, as well as the 3D/HD IMAX films Aliens of the Deep & Ghosts of the Abyss for Walt Disney Pictures. Earthship was nominated for six Emmys winning one for their production of Expedition: Bismarck.
In 2010, Chris was recruited as Vice President of Production at Entertainment One Television (eOne). He spearheaded the alternative programming division for cable and network distributors such as Syfy, CW, WETV, BET, MTV, A&E, Discovery Channel, Oxygen and Fox Sports just to name a few. Chris was responsible for the successful development and execution of all pre-production, production, post production and delivery of all eOne projects.
In 2017, Chris was contracted to create and Executive Produce a 2-hour documentary for NBC Sports and the United States Olympic Committee entitled - Scouting Camp: The Next Olympic Hopeful. With rave reviews and multiple award nominations, soon after Chris went back with the Cameron family - this time as Chief Content Officer for a start-up Tech/ 3-D Entertainment company called Human Health Organization owned by brothers John and James Cameron.

In 2020, the world turned upside down by the pandemic causing the Cameron family to pivot the Human Health Organization into a Covid-19 PPE and testing company. Chris, as COO, oversaw all testing and PPE protocols since May of 2020. HHO has tested over 2800 productions worldwide including A-list actors, Film and TV Studios and streaming companies.
Mr. Debiec relocated to Austin, Texas and as CEO/Founder, immediately established the Texas Media Coalition (TMC), an entertainment advocacy group with the aim of creating a mutually beneficial and sustainable multi-billion-dollar transferable tax-incentive program. This program was developed through a comprehensive analysis of Texas tax law, the needs of the media industry, and successful global and domestic programs. With the strength of the TMC behind it, the state of Texas increased their incentive from $45mm for two years to a game changing $200mm. The biggest increase seen in over ten years.
Currently, as CEO of newly formed Civilized Entertainment, Chris has built an award-winning studio focusing on the development and production of content directly related to Science, Technology, Environment, Art, Space, Expedition, Exploration, Medical and Historical Events.
