Ji Strangeway is a film director, author, and poet who is driven by the persistent, frenetic pull of the universe. She creates from the margins of gender, orientation, and circumstance. Her stories ride the shoulders of the misunderstood anti-hero, exploring the crash zones between society and self, the physical and the existential.
