The Seth character was later adapted into the titular character of the 2004 feature film Napoleon Dynamite. The film was completed in two days with a budget of under $500. It was filmed in locations around Hess' hometown of Preston, Idaho, including Preston High School and a local D.I. Peluca was shot in black-and-white on 16mm film. Later, they return to the school, and Seth leaves to go to an FFA contest. The film follows its main character, Seth ( Jon Heder), as he skips school with two of his friends, Pedro and Giel, to attempt to buy a lottery ticket at the convenience store and shop at a local thrift store, where they find a wig for Giel (who shaved his head after catching a fever). The short appears as a special feature on the DVD. The short was later adapted into the 2004 film Napoleon Dynamite, which featured Heder as the title character. The film's title is the Spanish word for 'wig', referring to the wig that is purchased in the film. It stars Jon Heder as the main character, Seth.

The film is almost nine minutes long and was shot on black-and-white 16mm film. It was shown at the 2003 Slamdance Film Festival.

Peluca is a short film by director Jared Hess, produced for an assignment while attending Brigham Young University in 2002.
