Since its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival this January, I've been eagerly awaiting a theatrical release of the heart-warming, charming and touching documentary Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey. The film has been hitting several film festivals throughout the year, and now after winning both the Audience Award and the Special Jury Award for Most Life - Affirming Documentary at the Traverse City Film Festival, the lovely film will finally be hitting theaters for all to enjoy. Today it was announced (via Collider) that the film will begin a limited release in New York City on October 21st before rolling out to other cities as well.

Directed by Constance Marks, narrated by Whoopi Goldberg, the documentary chronicles the life and career of Kevin Clash, a young child with dreams of becoming a puppeteer who would go on to bring life to Elmo, one of the most beloved "Sesame Street" characters of all-time. With focus on the art of puppetry, the inspiration of Jim Henson, interviews with iconic puppeteers and great archival footage, the film is an inspirational chronicle of Clash's triumphs and struggles to reach the success he enjoys today. If you need anymore convincing this is a must-see, I suggest reading my glowing review from Sundance (where it won a Special Jury Prize). Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing this all over again. Visit their official website.
