    Sedona, AZ (February 21, 2012) If you ever watched Sesame Street, you knew Elmo. But who was Elmo? I always wondered and yet I knew I would never see who Elmo was. We meet both Elmo and Kevin Clash at the festival, as well as Director Constance Marks, Producers Corinne Lapook, James Miller, and Writers Philip Shane and Justin Weinstein. Whoopi Goldberg narrates the film.

    The loveable Elmo keeps his priorities focused on children.  At the beginning of the question and answer session, Elmo walks out in the crowd and patiently hugs each child, not stopping until every child had an interaction with Elmo. Driving force Kevin Clash shows his heart is bigger than Elmo’s by being patient, even in the face of a crying child.

    Sedona International Film Festival presented the Life Time Achievement Award to to Kevin and Elmo. Elmo was presented with his own personalized festival film pass.

    Archival footage of Jim Henson and Sesame Street builds the background for this thoroughly entertaining film.

    What the Sedona International Film Festival Program has to say about Being Elmo:

    “A wonderful, revealing, delightful, true story that inspires as well as entertains!  Every day, millions tune

    into Sesame Street to see one of the world’s most adored and recognizable characters — a furry red

    monster named Elmo. Yet, with all of Elmo’s fame, the man behind the icon is able to walk down the

    street without being recognized. Meet Kevin Clash. As a teenager growing up in Baltimore in the

    1970s, Kevin had very different aspirations from his classmates — he wanted to be a puppeteer. More

    Specifically, he wanted to be part of Jim Henson’s team, the creative force responsible for delivering

    the magic of Sesame Street on a daily basis. With a supportive family behind him, Kevin made his

    dreams come true.”

    Elmo shows  Wednesday evening at 6:10 pm at Harkins Theater 2. See you at the movies!

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
