Finbar, the grandson of legendary cinematographer Michael Seresin, was stabbed to death after a fight broke out at Primrose Hill on Tuesday afternoon.
Police were called to the scene at 6.41pm, just two hours after Finbar had left his home in Maida Vale with his brand new camera equipment, telling his father, artist and musician Chris Sullivan, he would be home for dinner.
The London Screen Academy student, who sought to follow in his family’s footsteps in the world of film and already produced drill rap videos, suffered multiple stab wounds.

Paramedics and members of the public attempted to save his life but he sadly died at the scene.
A second man in his 20s, believed to be a friend of Finbar’s, also suffered stab wounds and was found nearby by police.
He was rushed to hospital where it was confirmed that his injuries were not life-threatening.
At the time of the violence, the park was packed with families and friends enjoying the unseasonably warm weather following the Easter weekend.
Police are asking for witnesses, or those with footage or information about the incident, to get in touch quoting reference 6448/07Apr.
Speaking to the Daily Mail this week, Finbar’s father said: ‘He was just a little groovy 21-year-old who loved movies and making films. He didn’t drink, he didn’t smoke, he didn’t go out.
‘He’d stay at home editing his films six nights a week. He wanted to follow in his [grandfather’s] footsteps and be a cameraman.
‘He recently did a video for Joseph Corre, Vivienne Westwood’s son.
‘We were just about to start a company together… he was going to do his showreel today with me. And now he’s dead.’
