“I’m not sure how it happened, but I know this, once they chose Ohio for a site for filming, they came to Cincinnati and set up on Linn Street,” said Bill Henry, manager at Jolly’s on Brookwood.
Through a series of conversations, they came across Jolly’s, both on Ohio 4 and Brookwood Avenue, as well as Flub’s. They took photos and provided them to the director, who decided the Brookwood Jolly’s fit the vibe of the movie.
