The problem with Nebraska, for me, is that it captures my state but not my town. Omaha is amazingly different from the rest of the state, including Lincoln. But Nebraska very much captures what this state is.

Election, I see a lot of people like those people and have memories of those sorts of teenagers when I was in school, but that’s not necessarily a man “Omaha” movie despite being set here. That said, considering the growth and change this city has experienced in the past 20 years, a lot of those location shots are incredible to see as a local now.

I will say that I’ve heard more than one person from out of town that’s visited, and is black, tell me they felt Snow on tha Bluff could’ve been filmed here and not lost much of its economic vibe. So there’s that. I haven’t met many non white, non local people that have anything nice to say about this city.
