This is the original short which Director Jared Hess used to attract investors for his 2004 smash hit Indie movie Napolean Dynamite. After receiving great response in Slamdance 2003, lot of people loved it enough to invest $400,000 to fund his 22 day shoot in Idaho. The investors went on to make 100 times their initial investment.

A similar road was taken by Kerry Conran for his ‘Sky Captain & the World of tomorrow’. He shot a dummy short film and got $40-70 million from Paramount Pictures to shoot it.
