Peluca is a short film by director Jared Hess, produced for an assignment while attending Brigham Young University in 2002.
The short was later adapted into the 2004 film Napoleon Dynamite, which featured Heder as the title character.
The film follows its main character, Seth (Jon Heder), as he skips school with two of his friends, Pedro and Giel, to attempt to buy a lottery ticket at the convenience store and shop at a local thrift store, where they find a wig for Giel (who shaved his head after catching a fever).
Later, they return to the school, and Seth leaves to go to an FFA contest.
Nearly all elements and locations from Peluca are used in the film (the convenience store scene was deleted from the final cut, however).
