I don’t often post trailers for movies, but here is one that is certainly television related -a documentary about Kevin Clash, the man behind Sesame Street‘s Elmo.
I was lucky enough to interview Elmo, or perhaps he interviewed me, a year ago.
Kevin was very generous and treated Elmo with such respect, as a character with his own volition. Elmo ranks as one of my favourite TV interviews.
By the looks of this documentary it will show how the puppet we have all come to love is really an extension of the man behind him.

I was interested in this until I realised it doesn’t say “Being Emo”… that would be far too interesting, and wud answer a whole lot of questions, like “why did you get a teardrop tattoo?” etc..
This guy has the best job. I to also saw him interviewed on Rove. A classy guy.
I’d like to see this.
Does anyone know if this will get a theatrical release in Australia?
can’t wait to see this!!!!
Saw this at MIFF earlier this year. Kevin comes across as an incredibly kind and decent man. It’s funny, fascinating and quietly moving.
Thank you for posting this David. I’ve loved Elmo for a long time, but fell in love with Kevin when I saw him being interviewed on Rove several years ago.
This film looks fascinating, I hope we get to see it here.
David, could you please find out if it is going to be released here & where? I would love to see this!
I’m not a movie blog but apparently it has already played at MIFF last month and has US release on October 21 so I’d say keep your eyes peeled then.
Not sure what it is, but I haven’t ever really been grabbed by Elmo. Have always preferred those like Big Bird, Snuffy, and Oscar.
Although I did like Kevin Clash’s work in Labyrinth (with David Bowie) where he played a number of characters and also as Splinter in the first two Ninja Turtle movies.
A wonderful trailer, Elmo is one of my favourite Sesame Street muppets, the others are Grover and cookie monster and also count von count. Its great to see the man behind the muppet and the voice of the muppet.
oh man…. now I have to seek out this film. !
Thanks for posting David 🙂
this looks amazing! hoping it comes out in Australia 🙂
I love Elmo! I have to see this film.
