Documentary Filmmaker Ondi Timoner Lost Her Home, Research and Equipment in Altadena Fire: ‘It’s All Gone’


Documentary filmmaker Ondi Timoner lost her home in the Altadena fire along with family research, footage and equipment.

The hard drives contained raw footage from two documentaries that Timoner is currently working on: “All That We Are,” about filmmaker Lesley Paterson and her late husband, “All Quiet on the Western Front” screenwriter Simon Marshall; and a doc for Legendary about the Nazis. The director also lost extensive research she had been gathering for a screenplay she is writing about her late father, Eli Timoner, and the company he founded in 1972 called Air Florida. Recently, doc filmmaker Liz Garbus (“What Happened, Miss Simone?”) and producer Dan Cogan (“Icarus”) gave the couple duffle bags of clothing.
