“Before directing ‘Transparent,’ Silas Howard was already a queercore icon, and had directed one of the most influential trans films ever made. Now, he's more influential than ever.”
— Jude Dry, IndieWire
“Howard’s career is dotted with firsts and superlatives: In 2015, he became the first trans director to helm an episode of Transparent… When he joined the directing roster at Pose, Howard worked with the largest trans cast in a drama ever... Though much of Howard’s recent work has been on the small screen, including a stint on Apple TV+’s Dickinson, it courses with the same defiant spirit as his shoestring-budget feature debut.”
