Lilly Wachowski    

Director, Writer & Producer Best Known for "The Matrix" Trilogy

Lilly Wachowski is an American film director, writer, and producer most famous for creating The Matrix trilogy together with her sister Lana Wachowski.

The Wachowskis made their directorial debut with the self-written Bound (1996). Other projects include scripting and producing the cult hit V for Vendetta (2005), a live-action version of a Japanese anime series Speed Racer (2008), Cloud Atlas (2012), and the ambitious epic Jupiter Ascending (2015). Their next project was the Netflix science fiction drama series Sense8, created and written with J. Michael Straczynski. The first season premiered in 2015 to generally positive reviews, particularly for the scale of the production and the presentation of diverse and LGBTQ+ characters and themes, winning the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Drama Series.

In May 2019, Wachowski was a co-writer and co-showrunner for the eight-episode first season of the drama-comedy series Work in Progress, created by Abby McEnany and Tim Mason for Showtime.

Wachowski came out as a transgender woman in 2016, following her sister Lana.
