Since 2021, there’s been near-constant coverage of the Rust tragedy, in which a prop gun fired by Alec Baldwin injured director Joel Souza and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. But “[in] the media frenzy which followed her death, it felt as if Halyna was erased, her loss eclipsed by the surrounding controversies,” Rachel Mason said in a statement (via The Hollywood Reporter). As such, Mason set out to make a documentary that “aims to keep her at the center, while offering a portrait of the experience of those with whom she spent her final 12 days, which hopefully, through their efforts, offers the world a very much unfinished portrait of Halyna.” That documentary is Last Take: Rust And The Story Of Halyna, which will air on Hulu on March 11.
