(FILES) Indian-US director Meera Menon attends the launch of Marvel studio original series "Ms Marvel" at El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California on June 2, 2022. Driving up to the Rocky Mountains for the Sundance premiere of her new movie should be a joyful experience for Meera Menon -- if she weren't leaving behind the scorched rubble of her Los Angeles home, where much of it was filmed. In a cruel example of life imitating art, Menon's indie zombie apocalypse flick "Didn't Die" is all about how survivors of loss and disaster find the strength to cope through community, good humor and sheer resilience. It has now taken on a brutal new context and meaning thanks to the Los Angeles wildfires, which have killed more than two dozen people and destroyed thousands of houses -- including her own.
