In conversation with Amy Landecker, Favianna Rodriguez, and Faith Soloway
When Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning director, writer and activist Joey Soloway’s parent came out as transgender, Soloway, who now identifies as genderqueer and nonbinary, pushed through Hollywood’s male-dominated landscape to create the groundbreaking Amazon TV series Transparent. Exploring identity, love and sexuality through the dynamics of a complicated Jewish-American family, the profoundly resonant series birthed a new cultural consciousness — and created an awakening in Soloway, too. Hear Soloway’s personal and professional coming-of-age story – from staff writer and straight, married mother of two to in-demand TV writer and director identifying as queer and nonbinary.
Joey Soloway is the Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning creator of Transparent and I Love Dick. Their first feature film, Afternoon Delight, won the 2013 Directing Award at Sundance. Their work can also be seen in Six Feet Under, How to Make It in America and United States of Tara. An activist and artist, Jill cofounded 5050by2020, East Side Jews and the spoken word series Sit n’ Spin.
