    Oscar-winning creative studio Framestore has appointed Tara Maloney as its head of production in New York. She joins a leadership team under the aegis of managing director Charles Howell.

    In her role, Maloney will oversee the production team and maintain the high standard of client and project management for which Framestore is known. 

    Maloney joins from Taylor James (formerly Smoke & Mirrors after the two companies merged in the U.S. and Mexico) where she rose from sr. producer to head of production over her six-year tenure, supervising the successful integration of the two companies in the U.S. She also played a key role in managing operations, finances and production output across multiple offices.

    Maloney has worked with a host of big name brands and their products, including Coca-Cola, Fanta, American Express, and Heineken, as well as across episodic content for Netflix and A&E Networks. Her postproduction experience ranges across print, design, animation, live action, VFX and 3D.

    Prior to Taylor James, Maloney ran the graphics division at A&E Networks where she was responsible for scheduling, supervision and execution of all promotional graphics for A&E, Lifetime, Lifetime Movie Network, History, H2 and Biography Channels.

    Director Ayse Altinok Joins Good Times For U.S. Commercial Representation

    Tuesday, November 12, 2024

    Director and writer Ayse Altinok has joined commercial production company Good Times for U.S. representation. Altinok has directed campaigns for Nike, Horizon Milk, Larabar, Jose Cuervo, Unilever, Mavi Jeans, Boots, Lumene, and more.

    A former art director at Wieden + Kennedy in Amsterdam and Portland, she approaches each project with careful consideration, analyzing the end goal as a first step and uncovering meaningful moments along the way. Her work features a cinematic, dreamlike quality and elevated aesthetic.

    “Having the right chemistry and karma is very powerful and that’s what attracted me to Good Times, and also timing,” said Altinok. “It’s a place where I can continue to push myself as a filmmaker and try new things, whether it’s for a traditional commercial spot or a high concept art project and everything in between.”

    “I’ve worked with Ayse for 20 years and she’s super talented. She’s great at finding gems in stories that would otherwise be overlooked, and her aesthetic is phenomenal,” noted Bernadette Spear, executive producer at Good Times. “She can also empathize with creatives, because she’s lived in that world and understands what our clients face and knows how to support their vision.”

    Throughout her career, Altinok’s work has won many industry accolades, including awards from The One Show, Clio, Art Directors Club, AICP, and the ANDYs. In 2016, she was nominated for a D&AD Next Director Award for her short film A Day at the Mall Reminds Me of America, a motion poem. Her first short film, 2009’s Hortum was an official selection of 11 film festivals worldwide and won the Special Jury Prize for Best Drama at the Amsterdam Film Festival.
