About
Joey Soloway is an Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning filmmaker whose work redefines how stories are told through the lens of the trifecta: funny, dirty, sad. Best known for Transparent, I Love Dick, and Afternoon Delight, Soloway’s storytelling breaks open traditional ideas of gender, identity, desire and creates new spaces for complexity where contradiction holds space for truth. Their work explores the electric spaces between self-invention and survival, family and freedom, longing and becoming.
