Alec Baldwin’s ‘Rust’: Cinematography Community Criticizes “Distasteful” Decision To Premiere Western At Camerimage
Alec Baldwin’s ‘Rust' will screen at this year's Camerimage Film Festival.
In a popular WhatsApp group chat seen by Deadline and used by hundreds of regular Camerimage Festival delegates, all of whom are working DoPs and some who say they knew Hutchins personally, the screening has been described as “distasteful” and “tone deaf.” Hutchins was killed and Souza was injured on October 21, 2021 after the Colt .45 gun Baldwin was pointing at the cinematographer fired off a live round during a rehearsal at the Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe, New Mexico, where the indie Western was filming. The film tells the story of a 13-year-old boy who, left to fend for himself and his younger brother following their parents’ deaths in 1880s Wyoming, goes on the run with his long-estranged grandfather after he’s sentenced to hang for the accidental killing of a local rancher.
