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”.

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

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

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