What Tandem Films Sl. does
Tandem Films S.L. is a Madrid-based, privately-held film and audiovisual production company founded in 2017 by producers Pablo Bossi and Cristina Zumárraga. It produces fiction features, animated features, and television series for a global audience, positioning itself structurally as a bridge between Latin America and Europe. The portfolio spans fiction features (e.g., 'Cerrar los ojos' by Víctor Erice, 'La Boda de Rosa' by Iciar Bollain, 'El Llanto', 'Hamburgo', 'Pájaros', 'Objetos'), animated features and children's series (the 'Turuleca' / 'Turu' IP and the franchise-scale 'Superthings Rivals of Kaboom, Kazoom Power'), and prestige drama series ('El grito de las mariposas'). Each project is financed and produced through a consortium of co-production partners — recurring collaborators include Pampa Films (Argentina), Gloriamundi Producciones, Turanga Films, Setembro Cine, Pecado Films, Icónica Producciones, and Zeta Cinema — combined with public funding from Spain (ICAA, ICEC, Junta de Andalucía, Comunidad de Madrid), Argentina (INCAA), the Ibermedia Program, and Creative Europe-MEDIA.
The company operates on a project-based revenue model: it generates revenue primarily through one-time licensing of produced content to theatrical distributors (Filmax, BTEAM Pictures, Avalon), international sales agents (Film Factory, Visit Films), global streamers (Disney+, Amazon Prime Video), and broadcast networks (RTVE, Clan TV, À punt Media, Canal Sur, EiTB, Telemadrid, 3CAT), plus shared financing from co-production agreements. Geographic reach of productions now extends across Spain, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, France, Italy, and Romania. The core team is small (1-10 employees) — co-founders Bossi and Zumárraga plus a Financial Director, Head of Development, Production Coordinator, Development Assistant, Production Assistant, Accountant, and one additional team member — indicating a boutique, founder-led operating model rather than a scaled studio structure. No external investors, parent companies, or M&A activity are disclosed.
