Two of the producers of "Napoleon Dynamite," the world-wide independent film hit of 2004, are coming to Minneapolis to share their secrets.
Sean Covel and Chris "Doc" Wyatt will teach a class at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design over the next few weeks called "Making Your Own Dynamite."
Sean Covel says while being a film producer is complicated, it is easier to build on pass successes than film directors who are often judged on the success of their last film.

Covel told Minnesota Public Radio's Euan Kerr they developed the class last year in response to a recurring theme they noticed in their travels around the country.
