Fantastic Fest interview: Jared Hess of ‘Gentlemen Broncos’

Jared Hess is still best known to the world as the guy who directed Napoleon Dynamite, which still stands as the most enjoyable of his three feature films. Nacho Libre and Gentlemen Broncos just haven’t quite climbed that same peak. But he’s content to continue living in Salt Like City with his wife Jerusha and working outside of the Hollywood system, and I admire him for sticking to his guns and not caving in to make something like Napoleon Dynamite 2 or Napoleon Dynamite: The Middle School Years on Fox.

We sat down with Clement after the premiere of Broncos at Fantastic Fest (read Cinematical’s review from that night right here), and you can catch the full interview beyond the break.
