The new “rust” document doesn’t even pretend to be caught about Halin Hutchins

Ukrainian filmmaker Halyna Hutchins He worked on more than thirty feature films, short films and television ministries, but a new documentary based on ‘Rust“The tragedy acts as her death – this is the most interesting in it.

Only 42 years of Hamchin died in the hospital in Albuquerque, leaving behind her husband and a young son.

Everyone wants to know what happened to Khalina Hatchin, and unfortunately, this is a question that will never be answered. Santa -f’s representatives seemed more interested in receiving the verdict of the guilty from Baldouin, than the investigation into how the live ammunition was in the film.

No matter where you stand on Alec BaldwinParticipation seems to be quite clear that he was a producer only in creative quality and did not imagine that the gun he was holding on the set would be filled with live ammunition instead of a dummy. Regardless of the pistol he spent, he left – he still claims that he never pressed the trigger – and the bullet broke through the Hatchin and ending with her life.

The bullet also entered Joel Suza and was brought out of the shoulder after he was sent to the hospital. While he recovered enough to finish the film (who moved from the production of New Montana), the mental fee shot by acting teams, and the crew members that were also in this church cannot be overstated.

Halin Holina’s name has virtually disappeared from the headlines, except when one of her family members wants to make a statement to remind the society that they are still very involved in a civil lawsuit against Alec Baldouin and other “Jiri”.

But the media spectacle is largely erased from the story of “rust”, which was focused on the armor Hannah Gutiere-RidWho went to court first. She was found guilty of involuntary murder and has now served an 18-month prison sentence.

The Baldwin court, who ordered the media’s attention, has attracted much more attention, especially when the judge rejected the trial with prejudice on the third day of testimony. The day before, the crime scene technology gave testimony of evidence that was never transmitted in defense, also known as Bradia’s violation.

The judge decided that the violation was so serious that she completely dismissed the accusations against Baldouin, so he never criminally liability for the death of Hutchins. Although the lead prosecutor T. Morrisi tried several times to drag Baldouin back to court, she ended up gave up only before Christmas.

Not afraid to go to jail, Baldwin turned and decided to file a lawsuit against Santa -f officialsaccusing the Santa Feaf Mary Karmak Alvis district prosecutor and a special prosecutor Morrisi of “manipulating evidence” and “causing false testimony”.

With his reality —the TLC “The Baldwins”, experiencing the key points that lead to his trial and The influence that her death had his mental healthIt is easy to understand how media narrative can focus exclusively on the actors “30 rock”, placing the true sacrifice of the story Halin Hutchys on the sidelines.

Unfortunately, “the latter to take: rust” and “Holin Hutchin” is exactly what. A documentary that will be available for broadcast on March 11 seems to be more about the story of “Jiri” and less about the heritage that Hutchys left behind.

The document presents footage from the original set of Santa -f, as well as shots from the Montana set, which wrapped the production in the spring of 2023. The new film filmmaker Bianka Klain participated in an interview for the film, as well as director Joel Susa, the assistant of the Lupar camera and the designer Kostach, Teresa Davis.

It seems that I am not the only one who feels that Halin Hutchys was postponed in her own documentary. March 4 director “rust” Joel Suza, Director Rachel Masonand producer Julie MetzHe participated in matters and issues after showing at the Pacific Design Center in Western Hollywood. As before Hollywood reporterAfter the question from moderator Steve Chyotakis from KCRW, Susa said it was a “very movable film”, but thought he needed more attention to the filmmaker.

“I hoped that it could have a little more Halin, or about Halin a little more,” Susa said before turning to Mason and Metz. “I know it was your original intent if you talked to me. And I could say if we talked for years at a time when you were under some pressure.”

“I think we all know who is in this room that is creative, what it is when the costumes penetrate to put hands all over the movie,” Susa added. “And I’m just curious to know with the partners you had, and maybe I will ask you, Julie, did they try to protect the Rachel’s vision?”

Mecz replied first, praising the vision of Mason to tell the story of Hutchins. “Rachel at the beginning was a very clear vision to tell Halin’s story about her life and her work, and some of her death, of course, because the story began here,” she explained. “But over time, and, as we acquired new partners on this project, it became clear that there was a commercial value in the history of rust. And it was to be part of the story we had to tell.”

“So, it became less about Halin’s life and more about her death, but that’s what we needed to do,” she added.

Rachel Mason, who first met with Khalina Hutchys when their sons went to the preschool, showed that the film was “shift” in the focus of the film, adding: “The movie has these evolutions, it starts with what you can do, and then you start working on it and you can do it anymore.”

That night, everything became even more uncomfortable when Mason was asked how difficult it was to make the movie while the crew tried to solve the problem with the sound. Instead of answering the question, Mason sent him back to the crowd: “Maybe if anyone knew Halin here and something would say. It would be just a strange to hear the story of Halin.”

That’s what I also hoped to hear.

Hutchys was a woman who was born and raised at the Soviet military base, and then worked as a journalist in Eastern Europe. She was one of the first eight filmmakers who participated in the Fox DP program in 2018 and was named one of “10 future photo directors who make their mark” American cinematographer Next year.

Even after death, her family, friends and colleagues of the American Cinema Institute created the Halin Holina Memorial Scholarship Foundation to support the education of women -children. The American Society of Cinematographers also posthumously honored her honorary membership after her death.

Her death also inspired calls for weapons safety on film and movies, with “The Boys” Showrunner Eric Creek After his death, he promised to forbid harvesting and weapons. Many other shows also made similar promises to raise safety on the set. The termination of her documentary with a call to prevent such accidents may seem like a movement that corresponds to her legacy.

However, “Last to take: rust: Halin Hutchin’s story” seems to mean that the death of Hutchins has prevented the creation of an independent Western film, and in a true style that can be style, they managed to unite despite the tragic loss and make the movie.

It is a shame that, despite the premiere in November 2024 at the Camerimage Film Festival in Poland, the film will never be seen. Despite the fact that some international buyers have acquired the rights to distribute the film, the producers do not yet provide a home partner.

Thus, with “Jiri” (so far) and the new doctor Hulu, who tells about the backstage story about the creation of “Jiri”, we still have to find out whether we can actually ever learn about the dead cinematographer who has lost life in a tragic film that we hope will never be repeated.
