Vote for Pedro!

Holson's angle was to show the cultural impact that the movie Napoleon Dynamite had on the townspeople of Preston, Idaho. She briefly described the movie's plot but mostly focused on the townspeople's reaction to the sudden celebrity status of their town. Instead of going into great detail about the movie, she collects first-hand accounts of the townspeople's reaction while visiting the location during a Napoleon Dynamite festival held in Preston. All of her research was done in person during her visit to the small town during the festival, evidenced by the profiles of the outsiders that visited; the tetherball girl, the Napoleon dancer, look-a-likes, and the tater tot eating contest. While she did talk to the outsiders about their thoughts about the significance of the movie, she mostly wanted to get information from locals such as the man the shot the cow in the movie and hear about how their lives have been affected by the movie.
