Dynamite Editor Shares Insight

Apple Pro has a story on Jeremy Coon, Editor & Producer of Napoleon Dynamite. Sharing details about the budget and production process, it also has information on the post-production process using Quicktime DVD-R’s of Dailies to stitch the film together very quickly.

Coon even shares the Sundance Negotiations on Distribution and reveals that he gave away too many “points” in the end. A surprising number of details in the three articles.

I had the chance to talk with Jeremy and director Jared Hess at Sundance 2004. They were funny guys. It will be interesting to see what their next film is. I hope they avoid the “sophomore slump”.

  1. Is Napoleon Dynamite a good movie? Or, is there a movie out there you liked that it is similar to – in sense of humor??

  2. Napoleon is a really good movie – it’s like Welcome to the Dollhouse – only funny and not mean spirited.

  3. Agree. Kind of like a kinder, gentler Wayne’s World.
