I went to BYU and had met some of the people from Idaho. When I saw the movie I was fascinated that they had nailed this subculture so well and that the whole country was falling in love with the same quirky people I had met.

Yes! It's the small extra touches, and those odd little side characters that take this movie over the top!

Great short video here. I have loved Napoleon Dynamite since it was released. I have watched many shows and video about it but I never knew Efram Ramirez had a twin brother that was pretending to be him. You would think that other videos would have talked about this. A nice bonus in this video.

Thank you for the kind words. Yes, that was such a weird situation with Efren Ramirez and his brother. I'm currently working on my next video... The Making of Tommy Boy!
