EXCLUSIVE: Production companies Level Ground and Visitor Media are underway on verité doc See You Tomorrow, about musician and octogenarian Beverly Glenn-Copeland, who last week announced his dementia diagnosis as he set off for his final, multi-show tour.
Helmed by Chase Joynt (No Ordinary Man) and produced by Samantha Curley (Framing Agnes) and Sean O’Neill (Swan Song), the production is currently travelling with Glenn and his wife and creative partner Elizabeth Glenn-Copeland as they perform a series of final concerts in Canada and the US. Production is set to wrap in early summer 2025.
See You Tomorrow will follow Glenn-Copeland and his wife as they navigate the implications of the former’s dementia diagnosis, contemplating high stakes, complex decisions about care and wellbeing while they embark on a mission to preserve his artistic legacy. They co-write a memoir, to be published by Penguin Random House, they collaborate on a children’s television show, Glenn-Copeland’s long-held dream following his two decades as a cast member on series Mr. Dressup [he also composed for Sesame Street], and they dig through the musician’s archives to find previously unreleased songs to be shared on an upcoming album.
Joynt, Curley, and O’Neill will be presenting excerpts from the project at this week’s Gotham Market in Brooklyn.
The American-born Canadian singer-songwriter and activist began publicly identifying as a trans man in 2002. Five years ago he was the subject of documentary Keyboard Fantasies: The Beverly Glenn-Copeland Story directed by Posy Dixon.
RedHot is soon-to-be releasing a Sam Smith cover of Glenn-Copeland’s song Ever New from his 1986 album Keyboard Fantasies as a part of their upcoming TRAИƧA compilation.
“Working with Glenn and Elizabeth at this pivotal moment in his life and career is an unprecedented opportunity to make a living trans history through collaboration, one that enables the production of a new archive for the future and captures the emotional and material transitions of the near past,” said director Chase Joynt.
“Glenn’s palpable impact was heightened when, at the moment he announced his diagnosis, crowds flocked to sold out shows in Montreal and Brooklyn where they gave rousing standing ovations for his moving performances.”
Curley and O’Neill add: “It’s a rare gift to document the final chapter of a remarkable life and artistic career—an ending that is being approached as a heartbreaking yet joyful new beginning. Glenn and Elizabeth embody a sense of ease, depth, and care that is extraordinary. Once you’ve experienced their magic, whether through Glenn’s music or spending time with Glenn and Elizabeth in person, it touches and transforms you at a fundamental, human level. We know this project will capture and sustain this transformation for future generations.”
Level Ground Productions is repped by Maggie Pisacane and Addie Poris at WME.
