I went to the premier in Parkersburg, WV, a small city along the Ohio River; Belpre, OH (a typical midwestern small town)is across the river. Scenes were shot in both locations. The doll factory is in one of two in Belpre.
Soderburgh, Hough and the main actors were there for a Q&A.
The casting person Soderburgh sent here to find actors says she was going through a KFC drive-thru and heard a supervisor instructing some kids. She went in and asked the supervisor to audition. She wound up being the lead.
Hough wrote an outline; for each scene the actors were told where to start, main points to hit, and where to end.
BTW, for the reviewer that said above that this shows you don't need a million dollars to make a good film -- Soderburgh said that the budget was $1.6 million.
