Ondi Timoner was in Europe working on a movie when the Eaton Fire burned through the Southern California community of Altadena in January, destroying her home and more than 5,000 others and killing more than 19 people. When she returned, the acclaimed documentary director knew it was time to get to work telling her latest deeply personal story. The resulting short film "All the Walls Came Down" weaves together her family’s recovery with the community’s response. Timoner spoke with AP entertainment journalist Ryan Pearson about why she pushed herself to complete the film in under nine months, what makes Altadena unique and how she hopes to help her neighbors. #allthewallscamedown #eatonfire #altadena
