EXCLUSIVE: With Broadway’s Operation Mincemeat opening to rave reviews last night, the timing couldn’t be better for two of the musical’s co-producers to announce their next project: Raye Levine and JT Tsou are launching a new production company called Left No Ring Productions, with Mincemeat its first official project.
Levine, whose acting credits include the 2023 holiday film Merry Good Enough and the play The Hopeless – The Hopeful at New York’s TheaterLab, and Tsou (writer, Barbie: It Takes Two animated series) describe their new venture as a U.S. based independent production company “with a focus on stories that not only entertain, but inspire and bridge divergent worlds.” The company will look to champion projects across film, television, and theater, highlighting underdogs and marginalized communities.
In 2025, Left No Ring is set to begin production on several films, and debut three projects (Broadway’s Operation Mincemeat was the first).

“JT is a force of nature and I couldn’t be more excited to team up with her on Operation Mincemeat and many more projects to come,” said Levine, who is married to Sawyer Speilberg, son of Steven. “We compliment each other’s skill sets and match each other’s energy and passion for exciting, provocative, and layered stories — from the stage to the screen.”
Left No Ring’s film and television projects in development include psychological thriller Screech from director Jesse Anholt, which Levine is also attached to star in; Nana vs. Time, a buddy adventure comedy; comedic-thriller The Dregs, starring Nava Mau; erotic drama Is This Okay?; rom-com feature Single File?; and psychological drama The Fortune Teller’s Daughter, an original series that explores the supernatural, with A Touch More attached to co-produce.
In theater, Left No Ring is producing the Off Broadway production On The 5:31, a love triangle dramedy by Mando Alvarado, and the theater productions Mythic, Of You, and Bzzz.
“Raye and I first met through our mutual friend, Molly Conners [of Phiphen Studios], and it was an instant connection,” said Tsou in a statement. “There was an immediate level of comfort, familiarity, and realness I felt with Raye…Our goal is to have this company be an extension of and embody who we are as artists. Not only to be able to make the art we want to see, but to also enable other artists to be able to make and tell their stories.”
“JT is a force of nature and I couldn’t be more excited to team up with her on Operation Mincemeat and many more projects to come,” Levine said. “We compliment each other’s skill sets and match each other’s energy and passion for exciting, provocative, and layered stories— from the stage to the screen.”
Levine, previously seen in Leviticus at the Edinburgh Fringe Fest, will continue acting in addition to her role as co-founder at Left No Ring Productions. She has upcoming roles in the feature films Almost Grace, On The End, Don’t Let Her Out, and Brute, all due for release this year.
