Twenty years ago, a cinematic and comedy phenomenon made waves through pop culture, in the form of a little independent film called “Napoleon Dynamite.” Written by Jared and Jerusha Hess, directed by Jared Hess and starring a fantastic cast of characters led by Jon Heder, the movie was a spectacular hit that had many of us sporting ubiquitous “Vote for Pedro” buttons. SF Sketchfest is very proud to present a 20th Anniversary table read of the film, featuring stars Jon Heder, Efren Ramirez, Jon Gries, Tina Majorino, Diedrich Bader and guest cast Nyima Funk, Mindy Sterling, Janet Varney and Gary Anthony Williams.
