Peluca is a short film by director Jared Hess, produced for an assignment while attending Brigham Young University in 2002. It was shown at the 2003 Slamdance Film Festival.[1]
The film is almost nine minutes long and was shot on black-and-white 16mm film. It stars Jon Heder as the main character, Seth. The film's title is the Spanish word for "wig", referring to the wig that is purchased in the film.
The short was later adapted into the 2004 film Napoleon Dynamite, which featured Heder as the title character. The short appears as a special feature on the DVD.
