Caring Cabin

Caring Cabin

2025 · 11 min · Family

Starring electronic-music pioneer Beverly Glenn-Copeland and conceived by his wife and creative partner Elizabeth, this never-before-seen pilot for an unproduced children’s show is a joyous, colorful kaleidoscope of handmade puppets, eye-whirling archival montage, and Glenn-Copeland’s transcendent music. Though the planned series ultimately never came to fruition due to Glenn-Copeland’s subsequent dementia diagnosis, this small treasure is a testament to the radiant imagination of a singularly serene, inspirational life force who is a beacon to both underground music and the trans community.

Directed by Chelsea McMullan · Written by Elizabeth Glenn-Copeland
