A 4-star review for Finbar's feature film as producer 'To Nowhere' (Dir. Sian Astor-Lewis) in DMovies, one of the UK's biggest film blogs.
"Astor-Lewis centres on London, showcasing a city that’s far removed from the sprawling, metropolitan jungle often portrayed on other films. This is a London that’s as daunting as any city in the UK, a place strangely alien in the realm of cinema. If anything, it’s a truer depiction of London, ripping down the glamour for something harder and more realistic: this is the perfect environment for two adolescents to find themselves. Behind the metal bridges and barren pathways, come two individuals hoping to butterfly after they have cast off the shackles of oppression with alcohol."
