The film

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. It is a portrait of Billy Tipton, the jazz musician who was revealed after his death to have been transgender. 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. The film premiered at the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival. It was subsequently screened at the 2020 Inside Out Film and Video Festival, where it won the award for Best Canadian Film. Oscilloscope Laboratories has acquired U.S. rights to No Ordinary Man.
