Carolyn Giardina A new documentary that goes behind the accidental death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust,” and its aftermath, will premiere March 11 on Hulu. “Last Take: Rust and the Story of Halyna” is directed and produced by Rachel Mason (“Circus of Books,” “An Update on Our Family”) from Story Syndicate, Anonymous Content and Concordia Studio, in association with FutureClown Productions.

Mason was a friend of Hutchins and the doc includes first-hand accounts of the events. “Halyna was dear to me,” said Mason in a statement. “My hope was to make films with her, and to support her in all the many films that she was sure to make.

In the media frenzy which followed her death, it felt as if Halyna was erased, her loss eclipsed by the surrounding controversies.

Our film 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.” According to the announcement, the doc examines the day of the 2021 accident, when Alec Baldwin’s prop gun fired a live bullet on the set of “Rust,” as well as subsequent media attention, lawsuits, criminal trials and investigations into on-set safety protocols.
