Documentary about Kevin Clash, the puppeteer behind Seasame Street's Elmo. Winner of the Special Jury Prize (Documentary) at Sundance 2011.
"Kevin is a big, tough-looking dude who is the heart, soul, and high-pitched voice behind the world’s most beloved baby monster. The 50-year-old puppeteer’s sense of humor and gentleness is immediately obvious (Elmo just helps channel it), and documentarian Constance Marks goes deep in her film on his inspiring story from childhood Sesame Street fan to one of its biggest talents… ‘Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?’ Through hard work, talent, and imagination, the little boy who dreamed of making people smile with his puppets found his way there, making a little-known character into a global phenomenon." (NZ International Film Festival 2011)
