Three years after a fatal on-set tragedy, the premiere of “Rust” is now only weeks away. The film was being shot in October 2021 when cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was accidentally shot and killed.
The premiere for the movie is now set for next month at a film festival in Poland. “Rust” tells a story of a 13-year-old boy navigating through life in the 1880s after losing his parents.
The film’s team has emphasized their commitment to maintaining Halyna Hutchins’ artistic vision. Organizers of the film festival said it was important to celebrate her achievements and passion for cinematography as part of the event.
After the screening, there will be a panel featuring Director Joel Souza, who was also injured in the 2021 incident. Hutchins was best known for her work on films like “Archenemy,” “Blindfire” and “Darlin.”
In recognition of her contributions, she was posthumously awards honorary membership into the American Society of Cinematographers. The American Film Institute has also established a memorial scholarship fund in her name.
In the aftermath of her tragic death, Alec Baldwin faced manslaughter charges, which were later dismissed due to issues with evidence. Meanwhile, “Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed is currently serving an 18-month sentence. Her defense has requested a new trial, but was denied.
