Finding Emily is a British romantic comedy featuring Spike Fearn as Owen, a lovesick musician who searches for Emily, played by Angourie Rice, after receiving her number with a missing digit. The story follows Owen and a psychology student as they travel from their university campus into the nearest city. Filming locations were kept consistent with the script, with most production taking place across the University of Manchester campus. The director also described the setting as being outside London, specifically Manchester, as a cool and specific place she loved. The film’s production approach emphasized authenticity to the intended locations.
"When asked in an interview with Picturehouse Cinemas what it was about Finding Emily that made her want to tell the story, director Alicia MacDonald said, "It was somewhere else that wasn't London - it was Manchester. That was a really cool, specific place that I really loved.""
"In the movie, we follow lovesick musician Owen (Spike Fearn) embark on a mission, aided by a psychology student, to find the girl (Emily, played by Angourie Rice) whose number he received, with a missing digit. What follows is a heartwarming expedition across their university campus and into the nearest city."
"While many movies transform one location into another for ease of production, the team behind Finding Emily stayed true to the script, and a majority of filming took place across the University of Manchester campus."
