Sviličić was born 1971 in Split, in a family of journalists. He started his career with a series of TV features which had a mixed critical response. At the beginning of the 2000s, Sviličić often worked as a co-writer or script doctor on films by other directors (What Iva Recorded by Tomislav Radić, The Melon Route by Branko Schmidt). Many of the directors with whom he worked made significantly better films then usual while co-working with Sviličić. Svilić was therefore sometimes nicknamed "Mabuse of Croatian cinema", who "resurrects directors from the dead".
