Ondi Timoner Lost Much in the Los Angeles Fire, but Not her Work Ethic

The composer Morgan Doctor loves her high -legged pants with high legs, donated after her home with the wife Oni Timoner (“Last Flight Home”) was destroyed by Etone Fire. The documentary said: “She usually wears tight jeans.”

They are enlarged with me from the back of the airport town car on his way to JFK. When the Eiton fire exploded on January 7 in Altadina, they were going to bed in Rome, and they were preparing to start Interviews The scouts of a Nazi documentary film coming and not loaded in Budapest, Vienna and Florence, before returning to Rome. Overnight, she burned her home on the ground, along with a large part of her life.

“I am slightly swollen by crying,” Timonar said. “I am so exhausted that I put my cold hands on my eyes constantly, because it burns very much.”

The destruction of a lot of loss is an overwhelming and countless. However, the peripheral movie maker continues to fulfill its professional obligations – filming the documentary, strengthening “DIG! XX,” heading to Sandans to examine the private sector “The Inn Bender” and “All Who Wornd” for buyers, and finding strength to dress its grief in multiple interviews, including In that interviews. Lamimer, the road to go out through.

Timon and a doctor was leaving Rome to Budapest when they learned that the Tadina house had disappeared. Family members (including Timon David’s brother, co -founder of their interlocking films) and various animals were initially evacuated from the homes of Tadina to her salary, but then they had to move as the fire approaches. Among the indispensable losses, her mother’s cat (which was hidden under the bed), which is safe for $ 40,000 and jewelry, and a $ 30,000 encryption wallet.

“My job during that hour, along with reaching the airport, was finding a place to place five human beings and seven animals,” Timonar said. “I start asking, and a couple can take two people, and most people cannot take dogs, or some people cannot take cats. I am trying to know that. By the time I am checking from the airport, Harry von, who was previously from Sandans, Who is now a producer in southern Pasadina, similar to, “I brought them all to my mother’s house.”

I love Timoner entertainment in the summer. She said, “I hosted a full outdoor show in my house, we had Potk,” and everyone will sit on the yard, and we will play the films, and then I was talking there. People were watching from the pool. ”

Timon and the doctor kept the flight line. There was no place to go. “We have passed the scout in Budapest all day,” said Timonner. “We were checking this [fire] Drawing a map. It was never updated, in fact, until the next day, he said the house is still there. He said that the fire was two masses. I heard from one of the neighbors, after returning from the scout, that my house did not make it. Morgan cries, I am in shock.

“When we discovered that my mother and David left the cat, that was the first time I cried,” Timonar said. “Because just because Rose’s death is afraid in our room, nightmares were, nightmares have since then we have nightmares every night. Either everything is fine, then he realized that he is not, or that everything was burning in a dream.”

The couple took a train to Vienna the next morning to meet a Holocaust survivor. “At this stage, I said the production company I am working on,” I understand if you have to cancel. “Well, I cannot cancel this survivor of the Holocaust because I was in the detention camp with him in November, and there was a very shock. He was six years old there when his father was killed. I was going to Vienna for only three hours on my way to Florence with the entire crew to document it.

“If I can do a good job, I will continue, because my city is burning.” “There is no place to go. Everything has been destroyed, I may also create something. So we went and did that, gave me this perspective, and made me feel,” Wow, I can still make something, although everything has ended. ” I finished the interview, and I said, “We will continue.”

Thus they went, they shot in Italy for two days. However, as soon as it was wrapped, Timonar began vomiting. “I was sick for a day, put in Rome.”

When the couple arrived in New York, they continued to fulfill the obligations (“” I am homeless now too, where will you go? “To complement the” XX! ” Elie Owen Timon, whose father’s house was reduced to ruins.

Before our enlargement, Timonar wrote: “I also have an appearance on ABC News LIVE tomorrow for us film [“The Inn Between”] About the only residence of the homeless in the country (which is ridiculous because we are now homeless) and this is at 5:45 pm, so we have thought since our journey was heading through New York to do these aspects, we must do so and is kind of temporary store and re -calibration before we return To the ruins of our house and no house. ”

In New York, documentary makers Liz Garbus and Dan Kojan sponsored Dr. and Tarmar, where they brought bags full of clothes-such as wide jeans. “The love of friends and our film community was incredible,” said Timonner. “It is so great that it was enough to be able to work and the unwillingness to surrender completely, because there is no way to wrap your head around the overall loss. [The house] It was my haven. My safe place was. It was the place where I worked. The Morgan Studio was. It was my studio. “

A friend prepared quickly Gofundment As for Doctor and Timoner, who read: “As documents and musicians, they only lost their home but they cannot be dispensed with, family archives, and all their cameras and tools, and each emotional component you cannot think about. They have lost their history and future work, and all of them were collected Carefully over years … overnight.

Timonar lived in Altina for 13 years. Her home, studio and swimming pool were in the foothills of the mountains. She said, “It is amazingly wonderful there.” “And I loved my city to the extent that my heart was open above it. It was the greatest place to live in. We had a wild peacock in the front yard, and the little peacock is affected and born. You will open the front door to allow someone to enter and the mating dance will happen.”

The Timonar Film Office in Pasadina did not burn that night, but there are damage to smoke. The next day, the fires erupted, a member of the Tarmar support team ran over to seize the Nexis and many computers. The office is still closed due to smoke damage. There may be more tablets there. After that, this office suffered from an electric fire last May, Timonar transported her most important personal archive to her home.

She said: “I left my magazine during the past two years next to my bed to save it in a state of insurance because I received notes that I need to transfer it to the digital.” “I love the cloud now. I used to do not like the cloud at all and be angry at that, but now I am a great fan because everything has ended.”

This cannot be supported by which hurts me. Every time Timonar adds the list of believers to their property, she is stabbed with what she lost: her son’s birthday cards drawn by hand, framed and attached to the bathroom. (One of the iPhone found its various prizes, especially the Sandans jury prizes. Producer Chris Albarsht promised to replace all her awards. She said, “I do not make movies for this reason.”

Among the things lost in Onde’s house, 500 hours of video footage of her father Eli, the subject of her documentary 2022 “Last trip”, “ Which recorded the last weeks of her sick father’s life, and surrounded by his wife and family, he prepared for legal death through suicide.

“You will not put the story of my father [two hours]She said, “You cannot suit her.” “Praise be to God for” the last flight. “But the shots that were launched during those 15 days with my father are likely to have gone.

“My first film,” The Nature of the Monster “, about a woman in prison in Connecticut, all that he went. There is one digital version, thank God. But my first films that I made at the public arrival station when I was 19 years old, I no longer know she is I was in.

She said, “I would have grabbed every steel drive, I could give my hand and threw them into the trunk, and I had taken some pictures of my father from the wall.” “We lost these two scraps that my mother put with my father’s airline, because I was working on a text version of“ Last Flight Home ”for 10 years. Part of the shots that may now have been lost is that I read the scenario for him on the deathbed, and get his observations and words The final.

Timonar does not want to make other film makers her mistakes. “Once again. Repeat everything. “” Keep them in different locations. We have lost the raw shots of the brand, “MAPPLETHORPE” and “Jungletown”. Fortunately, the two films that I make now are not destroyed. They were supported by LTO, a backup of the tape. And if you love something, take a picture of it. I am the most dearer of the home. “

When they arrived in Los Angeles on January 17, Timon and the doctor of her car regained and went to Vidiots in Echo Park for “DIG! Preview XX”. They now have a temporary shelter in the hospitality house, Warren Betty and Anit Pining. Bening recently attended another presentation of Tarner in the Tolerance Museum, “The Sons of God”. This documentary shows the struggles of her older sister, Rabbi Rachel, in order to be nice with the sponsor of the Brokelin, with a goodwill and its Baptist church. (There is one obstacle to sweetness and light: Jesus. “It is useful to have a rabbi in the family, I must tell you,” Timonar said.

On January 20, armed with an important press memorandum from Indiewire and the Hazmat suit, Timoner went to her home. It was ash and knees. A page from a religious book floating in the complex. The treasury was burned to fragile with everything in it. The encryption portfolio and Sandans prizes were also.

While insurance companies sort them, Timoner works. After Sundance, you will go to the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where you play “All the Children of God” on February 6 and 7. With the script writer Leslie Patterson (“Every Cell to the Western Front”), she is also developing the “SEARCH For” meaning “by Austrian and Naji psychologist Auschwitz/Dushau Victor Frankl.

“He said that we cannot get happiness in our lives without meaning, and the only way in which we can be meaningful is through work, love or suffering,” Timonner said: “The suffering is how we reach our greatest human capabilities.” “
