Joey
Soloway
Soloway’s journey as creator of the groundbreaking Amazon series “Transparent” concluded in the fall of 2019 with a cathartic musical finale marking the passing of the family’s trans figurehead, Maura (who was played by Jeffrey Tambor). This roughly coincided with their decision to go by the first name Joey, having earlier come out as nonbinary. Soloway is currently developing a diverse trio of feature projects to direct: “Mothertrucker,” starring Julianne Moore as an ice road trucker; “Red Sonja,” a live-action take on the Marvel Comics character; and “Ride,” a biopic about astronaut Sally Ride. They cofounded 5050by2020, a strategic initiative of Time’s Up responsible for the Disruptors Fellowship, a five-month program awarded to 10 artists of color who may identify as trans, nonbinary, disabled, undocumented and/or formerly undocumented.
