The late 42-year-old cinematographer will be remembered for her life and work.
The project has already been green-lit by Halyna’s widower, Matt Hutchins,. Emmy-nominated director Rachel Mason is set to helm, while Julee Metz will serve as a producer for Story Syndicate.
The full-length film will have exclusive access to Halyna’s professional and personal archives and “will paint a powerful portrait of Hutchins’ journey from her youth living on a remote Soviet naval base and then in Kyiv, Ukraine, to becoming one of independent film’s most in-demand cinematographers,” according to a press release, per the Reporter.
“The documentary will be a celebration of and tribute to Hutchins’ craft while exploring the circumstances on the set of ‘Rust,’ the Alec Baldwin-starring Western in which Hutchins was fatally injured, and the emotional journey of those involved in completion of the film,” it continued.“Halyna was on the cusp of making a lasting mark on cinema. As a filmmaker, I wanted to make movies with her. Never could I have imagined that I would be making a film about her,” Mason added in a statement.
“The world lost a great artist, but I lost a friend. The fact that her brilliance as an artist was instantly overshadowed by the circumstances around her death, pains me deeply. This film allows us the opportunity to share her humanity and talent with the world, and to experience the journey of her collaborators working to complete her final creative work. Halyna was destined for greatness, and she still is,” she wrote.
“Rust” star Alec Baldwin — who was holding the prop gun when it was fired, killing Halyna Hutchins — is not yet facing any criminal charges.
