Up and Coming Mormon Director

A young upcoming movie director from BYU has completed what many directors in Hollywood find impossible to do.
Jared Hess has produced a clean comedy (PG rating) that contains no vulgarity, sex, violence or drugs. In spite of being a clean movie it remains hysterically funny and is receiving great reviews from the USA Today, New York Post and even MTV News.
After reading reviews of Napoleon Dynamite and doing further research at the movie website I have reserved myself a ticket to a local screening.(I will follow up later with a short review of the movie)

I really like the idea of a Mormon director maintaining his values while trying to enter an industry that for the most part has no values. This movie is different from Mormon directors who previously have filmed comedies that cater only to the Mormon culture, such as RM and Singles Ward. Napoleon Dynamite has the ability to please the mainstream. In Kurt Loder's words "This is the funniest movie of the year, to date at least. It's a cult classic for sure, and could be a national smash, if word gets out. Go see it. Start spreading that word."
