Sweta Tagliabue

About me

I am a multilingual media professional with 8+ years of industry experience, holding an MA in Screenwriting from the London Film School and a Master's degree in Foreign Languages from the Catholic University of Milan.

My career spans stage management in Dublin, international screenwriting and production work in London.

Headhunted by Skydance Animation in 2019, I relocated to Madrid, leveraging my Chinese language fluency and production expertise on major co-productions like Dragonkeeper. During my time at Skydance, I contributed as a senior production coordinator on prominent 3D animation features including Blush, Luck, Spellbound, and Swapped.
