[Jill Soloway] made her name as writer and producer on HBO’s Six Feet Under and Showtime’s United States of Tara before writing and directing the indie feature Afternoon Delight, which won her the U.S. Dramatic Directing Award at Sundance in 2013. She also co-created the site Wifey.tv with Rebecca Odes, which publishes daily video content geared towards women. […] Because [Transparent]’s streaming online, Soloway says she had to approach the project differently than she would an indie feature or a cable or network show. “One of the things I try to do as a creator is take very seriously that people have a lot of entertainment options,” she says. “Whether it’s ABC or CBS or NBC or Facebook or video games, I knew I needed to make something where somebody would go to work and somebody else would say, ‘You have to see this.’ That’s the mandate.” – Dina Gachman,Forbes
