Jones' film premiered worldwide at the Delray Beach Film Festival in Florida in March, and will finally make it to his home country at the Festival in Dublin between June 22 and 25.
A mockumentary featuring six down-on-their-luck puppets in Tokyo, Fudge 44 was nominated for a 2006 Irish Digital Media Award.
In the film, locals believe the characters from the children's puppet theatre came to life and robbed a nearby bank to save their company from going under.
