The Profile

Kirk Jones is a British film director and writer known for Waking Ned (1998) and the remake Everybody's Fine. He began in commercials before moving to feature films.

Debut feature Waking Ned (1998) followed a background directing commercials; Waking Ned was filmed on the Isle of Man; Jones directed a remake titled Everybody's Fine (released in Italian theaters as Stanno Tutti Bene).

Two DeBaser reviews praise Kirk Jones for warm, gently comic films. Waking Ned (Svegliati Ned) is called a "little gem" for timing and charm. The remake Everybody's Fine (Stanno Tutti Bene) is noted for Robert De Niro's balanced performance and a sensitive take on loneliness.
