This wildly entertaining documentary cracks open the bizarre, brilliant, and endlessly surprising world of Andy Kaufman like never before — using his own voice to guide the way. Unearthed from a vault of never-before-heard audio diaries, Andy Kaufman is Me offers an all-access pass to Kaufman’s unfiltered thoughts, offbeat performance ideas, and a surreal semi-autobiographical novel he never finished… until now.

Director Clay Tweel reanimates Kaufman’s lost project with a deliriously inventive twist: marionette puppetry that turns his eccentric vision into a dreamlike spectacle. The result is a trippy, funny, and deeply personal ride through the mind of a man who never played by the rules — and never wanted to.

Featuring candid interviews with those who knew him best — including Michael and Carol Kaufman, David Letterman, Carol Kane, and Tim Heidecker — this film peels back the layers of myth and mischief to reveal the soul behind the spectacle. Both an origin story and a resurrection, Andy Kaufman is Me is a mind-bending journey through identity, performance, and the fine line between reality and illusion. It’s Kaufman like you’ve never seen (or heard) him before.
