Hess, who grew up in Preston himself, is a Utah-based filmmaker who attended the film program at Brigham Young University, where he met his future wife and co-writer Jerusha and also his future star, Jon Heder.

Hess: As far as aesthetic control goes, your first feature may be one of the few times that you have full creative control of the project that you are doing.

 AML-List Review: Napoleon Dynamite
Jared and Jerusha Hess are products of Brigham Young University's film school and they made ND with a bunch of their friends.
Hess is the second Mormon director, after Neil LaBute in The Shape of Things, to make reference to singer Elvis Costello (Napoleon Dynamite is one of Costello's aliases.) The movie Napoleon is as physically unprepossessing as Costello is, until he starts to sing.
*Jerusha Hess, the co-writer and costume designer, was seven months pregnant during the filming of Napoleon which is confirmed by an alarming still photo on the set.

 Review - Movie: Napoleon Dynamite   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
A meatier role is given to Jon Gries as Uncle Rico, who evokes a certain kind of sympathy for his football career that got away, but at the same time he repels with his womanizing ways.
Clearly Director Jared Hess has seen every Coen Brothers and Polish Brothers film, but he is a long way from their level of subtle absurdity.
I found myself squirming for some kind of action to redeem my investment in the ticket; you have to wait a long time for the payoff, a school election where Napoleon becomes a kind of campaign manager for his only friend, Pedro.

For their follow-up to Napoleon Dynamite, Jared and Jerusha Hess have very wisely not attempted to live up to Napoleon Dynamite.
The same should prove true of Nacho Libre, even though it is not as good or as offbeat as the first Hess film.
The Hess hallmarks -- a taste for the absurd and awkward, for garishly dated fashion and décor, for characters who are slack of jaw -- are in place.

There is no movie more overrated in recent history than Napoleon Dynamite; it's to cinema what the Doors are to rock 'n' roll, a thing blindly and inexplicably championed as though it were a religion above being blasphemed by nonbelievers.
Even the nine-minute short from which it sprang was some seven minutes too long, suggesting writer-director Jared Hess possesses a febrile mind unable to focus on things like character or story — in other words, the basics of moviemaking.
So it's of some relief to announce that sitting through Nacho Libre, the latest from Hess (and co-writers Mike White and Jerusha Hess, Jared's wife), isn't an entirely unpleasant experience, which is to say it doesn't feel as though it's worn out its welcome before the second reel.

Instead, his snappishness and aggressive weirdness don't diminish the more we get to know him.
In both Hess' conception of Napoleon and Heder's rendition of him, the character's a one-joke premise.
The movie is best seen in small doses.
