A new behind the scenes photo has been released from Napoleon Dynamite creator Jon Heder’s upcoming comedy Tapawingo. Reports state that the film has wrapped production in Hopeville, Virginia. Tapawingo is directed by Dylan K.Narang who also served as writer alongside Brad DeMarea, both of whom are also executive producers. Narang and Jeffrey Robinson produced under their Foggy Bottoms Pictures banner.

The ensemble cast includes Jon HederBilly ZaneGina Gershon, Chris Gethard, Kim Matula, Jay Pichardo, John Ratzenberger, Amanda Bearse, George Psarras, Paul Psarras, Sawyer Williams, Luke Barnett, and Chad Dukes.

Here’s the synopsis:

Tapawingo follows a 30-year-old oddball named Nate Skoog (Heder) who works a dead-end mailroom job and still lives in his mom’s house. When Nate’s boss orders him to pick up his social misfit son, Oswalt (Sawyer Williams), from school— it becomes clear the kid is being bullied.

Nate finally gets the opportunity to do what he’s always wanted: mercenary for hire. Nate forms a team of crack-shot wackadoos to protect Oswalt from the town’s family of bullies who seem to have taken an especially keen liking to his client.

The film’s writer and director Dylan K. Narang said of making Tapawingo:

“I wanted to make a movie like the ones I love watching on repeat at home. Jon, Jay, Kim, the Psarras, Chad, Chris Gethard, Luke, Reji – they all made my job easy because they’re all naturally funny and I think it really shows in the film. I can’t wait for people to watch it.”

This sounds like a silly comedy that will be nice and light and fun to watch. I look forward to checking it out. Tapawingo is currently seeking distribution, so keep an eye out, and we will be sure to let you know where it lands.
