All Its Name Implies (2020)

All Its Name Implies: Directed by Ev Durán. With Monique Birtwell, Jim Broshears, Susan Davis, Chuck Duran. “All Its Name Implies” focuses on the resilient residents of Paradise, California in the aftermath of the devastating Camp Fire. Most people have lost everything, and in their scramble to make sense of the unprecedented destruction, their shared sense of community only grows stronger. Featuring exclusive and powerful testimonials from the people who survived the inferno and created by filmmaker Ev Durán, who was raised in Paradise, “All Its Name Implies” is the story of Paradise, by Paradise, for Paradise.

“I donu0026#39;t know how many documentaries there are on the Camp Fire. I do know a vast majority of them are made by production crews that first time in Paradise was just after the fire. It is important that we celebrate local storytellers. u0026quot;All Its Name Impliesu0026quot; was made for and by Paradisians. This is not some commercial enterprise to gain accolade and personal profit, it is healing a community through art. For a community to heal and rebuild itself the process needs to be owned by the community. We see it at all levels, the outside expert coming in to implement their idea of what is right. What if those outside experts came in and asked, how can I help?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhen asked, u0026quot;How do you tell a good story?u0026quot; You first make sure it is your story to tell. This film is a good story.”
