NAPOLEON DYNAMITE (Jon Heder) and NACHO LIBRE (Jack Black) director Jared Hess is back with another offbeat comedy in GENTLEMEN BRONCOS. Along with his wife Jerusha Hess, the writing and producing team return to the big screen three years after their foray into the world of Mexican wrestling, NACHO LIBRE, and five years after their high school slacker NAPOLEON DYNAMITE became a cult hit.
For GENTLEMEN BRONCOS, the Hesses teamed up once again with actor/writer/director Mike White (School of Rock, Orange County) who also produced their last film, NACHO LIBRE and stars as "Dusty" in the film.
A salute to oddball artistes everywhere, GENTLEMEN BRONCOS weaves together a series of narratives revolving around aspiring writer Benjamin Purvis (The Forbidden Kingdom's Michael Angarano), a loveable underdog whose passion for writing science-fiction novels is turned upside down when his idol, the celebrated fantasy author Dr. Ronald Chevalier (Flight of the Conchords' Jermaine Clement), steals his story at a writers camp.
In keeping with a writer's struggle theme of the movie, CineMovie's Fernando Esquivel sat down with the indie darlings to discuss why it's a good idea to write as a team and how to stay true to the craft of filmmaking.
