Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey

2011 80 min PG Documentary

Elmo without the fur—just the man and his hands. Kevin Clash rises from basement puppet shows to bring a red monster to life on Sesame Street, fuelled by obsession and Jim Henson’s ghost. The film’s warmth comes from old tapes, worn seams, and the quiet pride of a voice heard everywhere, seen by no one.

Directed by Constance Marks · Written by Philip Shane, Justin Weinstein

Starring Whoopi Goldberg, Frank Oz, Kevin Clash, Bill Barretta, Fran Brill, Joan Ganz Cooney
