The 9-minute fever dream that birthed Napoleon Dynamite. Same awkward, zero budget, all cult.
The short film that Napoleon Dynamite was based on shows a day in the life of Seth, supernerd extraordinaire, rocking the megalopolis of Preston, Idaho, and soon the world, with his illegal ninja moves and his sweet fanny pack. GOSH!
