The movie focuses on the titular character, an awkward and nerdy teen with a memorable perm played by Jon Heder. Napoleon navigates the challenges of his daily life with quirky and hilariously quotable aplomb. If you&#8217;re now wondering, &#8220;Where was \u201cNapoleon Dynamite\u201d filmed?&#8221; then no worries \u2014 we&#8217;ll get to that soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much of the movie was heavily based on Jared\u2019s experiences growing up in Preston, Idaho. Hess <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/feature\/here-there-be-ligers-an-oral-history-of-napoleon-dynamite-80125\/\">has stated<\/a>, \u201cThe character of Napoleon was a hybrid of all the most nerdy and awkward parts of me and my brothers growing up.\u201d That authenticity comes through and makes for a truly hilarious film. It was not only extraordinarily and unexpectedly popular when it was released, but also remains widely beloved today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazingly, although the movie only cost $400,000 to make, it has grossed more than $45 million since it was released, <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticfacts.net\/4596\/\">according to Fantastic Facts<\/a>. Like several other movies of the era (\u201cLittle Miss Sunshine\u201d comes to mind), it\u2019s the quintessential example of a low-budget, independent film that broke through into the mainstream to become a major blockbuster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did they actually film the movie in the location where its events took place?

Preston is a tiny town with a population of around 5,000. And interestingly, the production actually filmed there as well in July 2003.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/tucson.com\/travel\/gosh-napoleon-dynamite-for-town-where-it-was-filmed\/article_34f5b497-c72f-5392-b924-e149b725bdf2.html\">Tucson.com<\/a>, the release of the comedy \u201cput this farm town near the Utah border on the map.\u201d In addition, the movie \u201cgenerated $1 million for Preston, according to the chamber of commerce, one of the first to bill the town as a destination for \u2018Napoleon Dynamite\u2019 aficionados.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"The-production-filmed-in-the-actual-Preston-High-School\">The production filmed in the actual Preston High School<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Napoleon Dynamite (5\/5) Movie CLIP - Girls Only Want Boyfriends Who Have Skills (2004) HD\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b58fAt0MdgI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Napoleon\u2019s character is a high school student, much of the film takes place at his school. They actually filmed these scenes at the real <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Preston_High_School_(Idaho)\">Preston High School<\/a>. The school was the location for both interior and exterior shots of the high school throughout the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jared Hess himself graduated from Preston High School in 1997. For instance, this hilarious scene where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=C5G3XKsq7Ic\">the \u201cHappy Hands Club\u201d performs<\/a> was filmed in one of the school\u2019s classrooms.

She studied sociology at Smith College, focusing on the relationship between the climate crisis and migration. Nina is also passionate about architecture and interior design, so she\u2019s thrilled to be able to research and write about beautiful Peerspaces in cities all around the world. When she\u2019s not writing or editing, Nina spends most of her time watching indie horror movies, falling down obscure Wikipedia rabbit holes, or training her cat to walk on a leash.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.gunthersegal.com","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ninagunthersegal"],"url":"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/author\/nina-gunther-segal\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79802"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79802\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/99842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79802"},{"taxonomy":"cohort","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cohorts?post=79802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
