Joel Souza's new film, Rust, will be released in the months after the shooting death of Halyna Hutchins , a cinematographer who died in October 2021 .

Alec Baldwin's character, played by Alec Baldwin , was accidentally shot by a live round that was loaded into a prop gun.

A live round pierced Souza ’s shoulder and lodged just inches away from his spine.

Rust opens on the homestead of the Hollister family, which is relatively barren apart from some scrawny livestock not faring much better than the two young boys who tend them.

With no adult to take care of him and his younger brother, Lucas does his best to help his sibling, but he’s overwhelmed.

The effort to showcase Hutchins ' work sometimes led to tension with potential distributors.

Baldwin ’s Harland Rust is a late arrival to the movie that bears his name.

He is drawn out of hiding when he hears news that his grandson will be executed.

Baldwin got to choose one part of his costume himself: “We let all the actors choose their own hats,” Souza says.
