Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Cleveland's 'best location' slogan was a real 1970s tourism campaign that became ironic local pride. The film treats this sincerity with surprising tenderness.
Marisa Guterman co-directed while eight months pregnant, shooting the antique show sequences in a single 18-hour day at an actual Cleveland PBS station.
