“There is no place in Pasadena that looks like Kentucky. They tried to move us — but we cut the budget and some of us cut our salaries. Kentucky was worth it.”
“We chose to shoot in Springfield because the city and its administrators were so friendly and excited about having us. I would tell any filmmaker: Kentucky is a wonderful place to shoot.”
“We found a few locations and made a decision: ‘Alright, we’re gonna do it.'”
“The film incentive saved $300,000 compared to an alternate location. Financial considerations drive location decisions — and Kentucky made the decision easy.”
“The producer said, ‘We have to start shooting in Louisville in two months.’ That was the most appealing thing — just hitting the road.”
“I was a loner, but I grew up in a paradise.”
