Vagabond has started 2017 off with an expansive spirit, promoting Pablo Tourrenc to Senior Producer. Based in Bogota, Colombia, Tourrenc will now oversee bidding and productions for some of the projects shooting in Latin America.
“For this new year, our mission with Vagabond remains the same since the creation of the company,” says Partner/Executive Producer Gabriel Carratu. “To provide the best production service and commitment to our clients. One of the great advantages and added value of Vagabond is that our clients can count on a personalized service in each and every project that we produce. We believe Pablo’s great experience as an international Producer and his positive attitude towards any new challenge combined with his fresh ideas, will bring a renewed energy to the company.”
“Pablo was invited to join Vagabond as the Producer for Colombia based in Bogota and to develop new territories such as the Dominican Republic and Cuba,” notes Vagabond’s Founder/Managing Director Lorenzo Benedick, who is based in New York. “Thanks to Pablo’s enthusiasm, work ethics and international experience, he has now been promoted to Senior Producer for Latin America, taking care of the bidding process, the production on the ground, through the wrap.”
Vagabond’s Franco-British Senior Producer Pablo Tourrenc started his career in New York City offering production services in North America to European production companies. After five years in the U.S., he moved to Bogota, Colombia where he set up Vagabond’s Colombian office. Pablo was born and raised in France. He studied Communications in the U.K., then Filmmaking in France and in New York. He speaks fluent French, English and Spanish.
“My goals for Vagabond is to continue strengthening the company’s structure and position in the market, through the quality of our services,” concludes Tourrenc.

They are currently in the midst of their sixth production, having completed projects for Ferrari for the European market and Jeep for the U.S. market.
