No Ordinary Man is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Aisling Chin-Yee and Chase Joynt, and written by Aisling Chin-Yee and Amos Mac.[4] It is a portrait of Billy Tipton, the jazz musician who was revealed after his death to have been transgender.[5][6]
The film's production was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. However, as principal photography was already completed, it mainly affected tasks such as editing and post-production work that could be done remotely.[5]
The film premiered at the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival.[7] It was subsequently screened at the 2020 Inside Out Film and Video Festival, where it won the award for Best Canadian Film.[8]
Oscilloscope Laboratories has acquired U.S. rights to No Ordinary Man.
