    • Trivia
      In 2013, still a film student, all of the remaining residents refused to speak to the director / producer Joe Sapienza for the film. About five additional families also turned down the documentary. At that point, Sapienza's approach for the film was to turn it into a highly political one focusing more on the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. However, a couple months later, it wasn't until another film student whose grandfather, the late John Coddington happen to live in Centralia; and her mother used to live off of Locust Street. Sapienza approached her and she got a hold of her family along with their former Centralia neighbors and met the crew out in Centralia to film four interviews in April 2014. As a result, the film took on a more personal down to earth approach and changed it's theme, setting up the stage for the extended feature later on.
