Synopsis

Starring electronic-music pioneer Beverly Glenn-Copeland and conceived by his wife and creative partner Elizabeth, Caring Cabin is a deeply personal project inspired by Glenn and Elizabeth’s lifelong dedication to building community and nurturing the ones ahead through music and storytelling. Blending archival footage, handmade puppets and Glenn’s transcendent music, Caring Cabin constructs a cozy and colourful world in which Glenn and his animal friends learn valuable lessons about nature, coping with change, and the power of community. Originally envisioned as an ongoing children’s series, Glenn was diagnosed with dementia shortly after the pilot was completed, and plans to move the series into production were put on hold indefinitely. Despite this, the pilot has found new life on the Criterion Channel.
