Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' Premieres at Film Festival

Alec Baldwin's film 'Rust' premiered at the EnergaCamerimage festival in Poland over three years after the accidental on-set death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was killed by a prop gun Baldwin was handling. The audience's response was mixed, with applause for Hutchins but some attendees leaving early, and Baldwin did not attend due to concerns his presence would overshadow the event. Director Joel Souza, who was injured in the incident, expressed hope that audiences would appreciate Hutchins' final work. A moment of silence was held in her honor, and cinematographer Rachel Mason highlighted the dedication of the crew who returned to complete the film. The premiere sparked controversy, but organizers emphasized it was intended to honor Hutchins’ legacy. The film was completed after a wrongful death lawsuit was settled, and it aims to showcase Hutchins’ talent.
