Ondi Timoner is the only director to win Sundance’s Grand Jury Prize twice—for DIG! and WE LIVE IN PUBLIC, both in MoMA’s permanent collection. Her 2022 feature LAST FLIGHT HOME, about her father’s intentional end-of-life journey, was Oscar-shortlisted, Emmy & WGA-nominated, and earned the Humanitas Prize and DOC NYC’s Visionary Award.

Other award-winning features are COMING CLEAN about the opioid epidemic, COOL IT about climate change, THE NATURE OF THE BEAST about women in prison, JOIN US, BRAND: A Second Coming, the series JUNGLETOWN, and THE NEW AMERICANS: Gaming a Revolution.

In 2024, she premiered DIG! XX at Sundance, THE INN BETWEEN about the only hospice in the home for the homeless in the U.S., and ALL GOD’S CHILDREN about a jewish-black alliance. In 2025, she premiered ALL THE WALLS CAME DOWN, a short film about the historic LA fires which destroyed her home and town of Altadena, at the Telluride FF. It will be released by the LA Times Shortdocs.

Other award-winning shorts include RECYCLE about a homeless man who creates a community garden, LIBRARY OF DUST about mental illness, “Amanda F*ing Palmer On The Rocks”, “Obey The Artist” about Shepard Fairey’s skid row work, and THE LAST MILE about an entrepreneurship program at San Quentin Prison. She also wrote, directed, produced, and edited MAPPLETHORPE starring Matt Smith and is in post on THE RACE TO CATCH THE LAST NAZIS for Legendary. Timoner is a member of the Academy, and chairs the Nonfiction Subcommittee at the DGA.
