‘Rust’ on Trial: Alec Baldwin’s Armorer Faces Involuntary Manslaughter Charges

Born in Ukraine and a married mother of a nine-year-old son, Hutchins already had been dubbed one of American Cinematographer’s top new talents and received festival accolades for the 2020 arthouse superhero movie Archenemy starring Joe Manganiello.
