FULL CHARACTER OUTLINE: Emma Crawford in I’LL WALK WITH GOD – a quasi-musical – is well-spoken, warm and friendly, with a natural wit and an easy intelligence that is never “in your face”, someone who is comfortable in her skin. She is English, white Caucasian. She studied for degrees in Music of the Italian Romantic Period (BA) and Music Theory (MA) at Manchester University. After graduation she took on a fill-in job as private music tutor to the teenage daughter of an Italian textile industrialist in Tuscany. Later, for nine years, she was a music teacher at a private school near Coventry. And then for ten years (until a year before this film starts) she was a lecturer in Aesthetics and Music Theory at Birmingham University. Two years into the job she married a professor of composition at the same university. She divorced him six years later (three years before this film starts) following his long affair with a female post-graduate music student. The couple immigrated to Los Angeles during the same year as the divorce. Emma has no children. She, the only child of late parents who were each an only child, has no close relatives in the UK. She lives alone. A year after her divorce (two years before this film starts) she starts to feel unwell and is diagnosed with colon cancer. She undergoes surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. For a while she goes into remission. A year before the start of this film, in the summer, feeling weak and disoriented, she gives up lecturing. At the beginning of 2015 (the year when this film starts), her cancer treatment continues. A week before she meets the Rev Jim Watson at her local allotment – a man who will change her life – she undergoes further tests. On the day she has tea with Jim at the Old Vicarage she is due to return to the hospital for the results of the tests. It is the start of an emotional, romantic and physically gruelling rollercoaster period for both Emma and Jim and his daughter Holly.
