Filmmaker Kirk Jones Sold Home to Fund 'I Swear'

Filmmaker Kirk Jones Sold Home to Fund 'I Swear'

Kirk Jones, the director of the movie 'I Swear,' sold his house to pay for making the film.

He and his wife used the money from selling their home and took a loan to finance the entire project.

This way, they had full control over the movie and didn't have to change anything, like the swearing in the film, which is about a man with Tourette syndrome.

The movie has been nominated for several BAFTA awards and has done well at the UK box office.

Jones is happy with the decision and doesn't regret it, even though they haven't made their money back yet.

He plans to focus on making British films in the future and won't use his own money to fund another movie.
