All the Walls Came Down
NeoAwards 2027
Best Documentary Short Subject Award Nominee


About the Nomination


All the Walls Came Down is a 2025 documentary short written and directed by Ondi Timoner. After the Eaton Fire destroyed her Altadena home in January 2025, Timoner turned her camera toward her own experience and the wider community's struggle to recover.

The film follows community organizer Heavenly Hughes and Altadena residents as they confront devastating losses, displacement, and the threat of longtime families being pushed out of the community. At its center is a story of resilience, solidarity, identity, and the determination to preserve a historic community in the aftermath of climate disaster.

The documentary premiered at the Telluride Film Festival and was shortlisted for the 98th Academy Awards' Best Documentary Short Film. It was later released through the Los Angeles Times' Short Docs program, giving the film a significant platform during the awards season.

Its deeply personal filmmaking, timely subject matter, community-centered storytelling, and awards recognition make All the Walls Came Down a compelling contender for the Best Documentary Short Subject Award.
