Anyone know why Cincinnati was chosen as the setting of the movie?

Oxford isn't in the Cincy metro area. It's 45 min to an hour north. Trust me, I went to Miami, and I wished Cincy was that close. Miami is kinda out there in the middle of no where.

The Odyssey of the Mind scenes were filmed at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio.

When they were casting for the 2 year old Tate, they basically cold called parents of young children, wanting to know if they could say "Coffer". They called my parents because my brother was that age, but he wasn't advanced enough to do it. I always thought that was so cool. We lived in central Ohio, near Columbus.

The Oxford house facade was the TKE fraternity house.
