MANCHESTER 💜

Overheard at the Finding Emily premiere 🎬

Last week, we were invited to HOME Mcr for the UK special screening of Finding Emily, the brand new rom-com set in Manchester that was filmed right here on campus.

We took our cameras behind the scenes to capture all the best moments - from questionable Manc accents and cast confessions to red carpet reflections and everything in between.

Get ready to watch campus on the big screen when hits cinemas this Friday, 22 May.
