Deep dives
Unique and Insightful Environment of Transparent
Being on the set of Transparent was a highly unique experience for me. The opportunity came when Jill Soloway, the creator of the show, asked me to be a part of it. The set had a completely different vibe compared to other projects I had worked on. The show was groundbreaking in its exploration of gender and identity, and it created an open and inclusive environment for everyone involved. It was a place where people felt safe to fully explore their characters and the profound themes of the show. Transparent was a true highlight of my career.
