	Interview: Jared Hess for "Nacho Libre"
		Hess: You know, we actually did a lot of, in the little time that we had before we began shooting, we did a lot of rehearsals just to try out different things and just kind of figure out what felt like it worked, and what didn't.
		Hess: For one thing, the world of Lucha Libre is something that's so outrageous and funny and something that when you experience it live, it's like entire families are there, and they are totally making fun of like all the guys that are wrestling.
		Hess: You know, I think that there are definitely elements that make it more accessible to people than 'Napoleon' - just the fact that we have a music score.You know, certain things that maybe seem more polished just because we had the means to do it with this one.

		If the first day of shooting were accurate in portending the outcome of the movie, Hess would have had a disaster on his hands: the camera truck broke down on its way to set, and Hess, the crew, and the actors waited half a day for the camera to finally arrive.
		Hess got his film into Sundance, but worried about how audiences would receive it—so intense were his fears, Hess was physically ill until the moment the lights went down.
		Hess finally moved on from "Napoleon Dynamite"—if only for the moment—to direct his first studio picture, "Nacho Libre" (2006), a rude-and-crude comedy starring Jack Black as a monastery cook whose awful food prompts him to go on a quest to raise money for the orphanage so the children can have good food to eat.

	deseretnews.com \| Wrestle maniac: Jared Hess' new film stars Jack Black as a Mexican wrestler
		Hess met actor Jack Black at the 2004 Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, which is where the germ of "Nacho Libre" sprouted.

		Hess said he has no expectations regarding the possible success of his new film, though he was as surprised as anyone when "Napoleon Dynamite" wound up becoming such a huge hit.

	Napoleon's' Hess enters the ring
		Yet this perfectly regular guy is responsible for conceiving one of the most eccentric movie characters in recent memory: a gawky teen-ager who claims to own a mean set of nunchucks, refers to his grandmother's pet llama as a "fat lard" and stores Tater Tots in his pants pockets.
		Although the premise is, believe it or not, based on the true story of actual luchador Fray Tormenta, Hess, his wife, Jerusha (who also collaborated with her husband on the "Dynamite" script), and fellow scribe Mike White ("School of Rock") put their own spin on this tale of sleeper holds and spiritual redemption.
		Hess, a practicing Mormon, avoids the foul language that peppers so many mainstream movies, particularly comedies aimed at younger audiences.
