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.
