Ms. Hughes is in the beginning stages of production and there has been no release dates mentioned as yet. This new endeavor will be Finola’s third stint as a director.

Her first stint was in 2013, when she made her feature-film debut as a director, as well as being the executive producer for The Bet, for which she also won the LA Femme Filmmaker Award that year. In 2015, she was both director and executive producer for her second film, a romantic comedy, entitled Byrd and the Bees.

Finola was born in London, England, in 1960, and has trained in dance and performing arts at the Arts Educational Schools, in London. In 1981, she originated the role of Victoria the White Cat in the London production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical “Cats”.

In 1983, who can forget her riveting performance as Laura; opposite John Travolta in the musical film Staying Alive, which was a sequel to Saturday Night Fever?
