Amazon’s Leo Zimbron Joins Eugenio Derbez’s 3Pas Studios

Former Amazon executive Leo Zimbrn has been appointed senior vice president of Spanish-language features and international co-productions at Eugenio Derbez and Ben Odells 3Pas Studios.

There are few executives with the levels of experience and success that Leo has garnered over the years. Eugenio and I have both worked with him previously and love what he will bring to 3pas as we continue to build and scale our business, Odell said. He has great creative instincts combined with a sharp business mind. I dont want to call him a unicorn for Spanish-language content but oops, I just did.

Previously, Zimbrn served as head of local original movies for Latin America at Amazon Studios; he has worked on 40 projects for the company. In 2018, he held the position of director of fiction programming at EndemolShine Boomdog. Zimbrn also served as director of local production for Warner Bros.

Some of his producing credits include Nosotros Los Nobles, Mexicos second highest grossing film of all time.
