What was Napoleon Dynamite before Napoleon Dynamite?

My youth pastor saw this movie when he went on his honeymoon last week and he said it was the Napoleon Dynamite before the Napoleon Dynamite! I know the guy who made it made another short film in film school (being an avid fan of the movie I know a lot!) He said this movie had a guy with a mullet and another guy who sounded like Kip! Please help!
