According to the film's director, 70% of the film was shot in Shelby, Ohio and Mansfield, Ohio, with some scenes having been shot at the Ohio State Reformatory.[2]

Reception

One criticism of the film's production that the film simply did not have an effective-enough distribution with its smaller budget, as it only had one limited release showing in Cleveland, Ohio at the Tower City Cinemas theater. Facebook posts on The Wind is Watching's Facebook page seem to indicate this as well, with many visitor posts asking the page where they can purchase the film - showing a clear interest without response. As of November 18, 2016) no method to purchase either a digital copy of the film on iTunes or Amazon, nor any known distributor selling DVD/other physical copies.
