The complete story is about the indie classic Napoleon Dynamite (2004) and there’s a really interesting backstory behind it that makes the $46 million success even more impressive. The movie was created by Jared Hess, who originally made a short film called Peluca starring Jon Heder. It was shot in black-and-white and basically served as the blueprint for Napoleon Dynamite. Off the strength of that short, Hess was able to secure a budget of around $400,000 to expand it into a full length feature. The film was shot in Preston, Idaho (Hess’s hometown) in just over three weeks. Because it was such a low-budget indie project, everyone worked for very little. Jon Heder, who played Napoleon, was only paid $1,000 for his role at first. He later renegotiated once the film blew up, earning a cut of profits after it became a cult hit. The movie premiered at Sundance in 2004 and became a breakout success. Fox Searchlight and Paramount picked it up for distribution, and it went on to gross over $46 million worldwide. It also became a cultural phenomenon, with lines like “Vote for Pedro” and Napoleon’s awkward dance cementing its place in pop culture. It’s a classic example of how small, quirky indie films can explode into mainstream success and how unexpected hits can completely change careers.
