After receiving a BA in Film and Psychology from Emerson College in 2002, and a certificate in screen writing from the same school in 2003, Solet moved to Los Angeles and began working in production.
He wrote and directed his highly lauded first feature, Grace, in 2008. Following its premiere at Sundance '09, where two men in the audience passed out from the intensity of the film, Grace was the darling of festivals around the globe, including SXSW, Brussels, and Gerardmer, where it won the prestigious Prix du Jury, going on to win many more, including a Vision Award at Toronto After Dark, Best Director at Albuquerque International, and a Best Film nom from Sitges Festival Internacional de Cinema Fantastic. Critically, Grace received a caliber of praise practically without precedent within the genre, called, "downright chilling" by Variety, "astonishingly wonderful" by Harry Knowles, "a horrifying meditation" by the Los Angeles Times, and "sweet, queasy perfection" by MTV's Kurt Loder.
Regarded for his intense story savvy as a writer for hire as much as his eye, he has since developed projects for some of the most respected producers and directors in the business at both the studio and independent levels, while continuing to direct both his own and other writers' material.
He works and lives - and lives to work - in Los Angeles, CA.
