Tara Maloney Joins Framestore New York as Head of Production

Oscar-winning creative studio Framestore announced today the appointment of Tara Maloney as head of production in New York, strengthening the agency’s leadership team under managing director, Charles Howell. 

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

“We’re thrilled to have Tara on board to help shepherd our superb team in New York,” said Charles. “Visual effects production is a multifaceted craft that's not always for the fainthearted; we partner with clients on what can be groundbreaking projects, involved from inception of the creative through to final delivery. Tara's experience, attention to detail and understanding of our craft makes her a natural fit for Framestore.”

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

She 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 post production experience ranges across print, design, animation, live action, VFX and 3D.

“I am eager to bring my skill set and experience to a company I’ve always admired, and help further push the ball forward on both the technical and creative front. I look forward to working closely with Framestore’s second to none team of artists and producers in New York,” said Tara.

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.

Tara graduated from SUNY Oneonta with a Bachelor of Science in Mass Communication and Production.
