"It's scary when centuries of your survival have been based on not being seen." LevelFilm from Canada has released an official trailer for an indie music history documentary film called No Ordinary Man, made by acclaimed filmmakers Aisling Chin-Yee & Chase Joynt. This initially premiered at TIFF last year and opens in Canada in April, though still no US release is set yet. No Ordinary Man is an in-depth look at the life of musician & trans culture icon Billy Tipton. Complicated, beautiful and historically unrivaled, this uniquely groundbreaking film shows what's truly possible when a community collaborates to honor the legacy of an unlikely hero. For decades, the life of American Jazz musician, Billy Tipton, was framed as the story of an ambitious woman passing as a man in pursuit of a music career. But that's not the real truth of his story. From this trailer, it seems half the film is an attempt to film a recreation featuring a trans actor from today. ›››
