Lana and Lilly are notable for both being UsefulNotes/{{transgender}} women, having transitioned as adults later into their careers--notably, Lana openly transitioned following the release of ''Film/SpeedRacer'' in 2008 (and after years of rumors dating back to the ''Matrix'' sequels), and Lilly opened up about her status in 2016.[[note]] While deadnaming a trans person is disrespectful, most cuts of their works first released before 2008 (i.e., virtually any of the tens of millions of copies of the ''Matrix'' films) that a reader will encounter are going to use their pre-transition names in the credits, so those are included on the page to avoid confusion.[[/note]]

Lana Wachowski (born June 21, 1965) and Lilly Wachowski (born December 29, 1967), known together as the Wachowski Sisters (formerly referred to as the Wachowski Brothers prior to their transitions[[note]]previously named Laurence "Larry" Wachowski and Andrew Paul "Andy" Wachowski respectively[[/note]]), are American film directors, screenwriters, video game directors, and producers.

They're perhaps best known as the creators of ''Franchise/TheMatrix'' franchise, having written, directed, and executive produced all three of its cinematic entries and two video games, [[VideoGame/EnterTheMatrix including one with 40 minutes of live-action footage]]. Other films they had a hand in creating include ''Film/VForVendetta'', ''Film/CloudAtlas'', and ''Film/JupiterAscending''.

They're also the creators of Creator/{{Netflix}}'s ''Series/{{Sense8}}'', their television debut.
