Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey

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.
