Untitled Sesame Street documentary

In the early 1980s, Sesame Street producer Arlene Sherman and director Victor DiNapoli began filming footage for a documentary about the show that ultimately never came to fruition.Jim Henson: Behind the Seams compilation screening at the Museum of the Moving Image This footage included interviews with the cast and crew, and a behind-the-scenes look at production meetings, puppet building and the taping of various episodes and inserts. Several hours of footage were recorded between production of seasons 12 through 15.
Some of the footage eventually found its way into other documentaries including Biography and Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street, and several snippets were included as bonus features on 40 Years of Sunny Days and Old School: Volume 3.
In one piece of interview footage (shown in the Street Gang documentary), director Jon Stone claimed he had previously pitched a documentary titled "Backstage at Sesame Street," but was met with rejection. He remarked that the then-current footage being collected could be used to fulfill his earlier idea.
