Matthew Hutchins, the husband of the shot cameraman Halyna Hutchins, spoke publicly for the first time on Saturday about the tragedy that took place during the filming of Rust. He reminded on Twitter how inspiring his wife had been. He then spoke with American television Fox News about communication with actor Alec Baldwin, who accidentally shot his wife.
Cameraman Halyna Hutchins died at the age of 42 while filming Rust in New Mexico. Actor Alec Baldwin accidentally shot her with a prop in which there was a sharp charge. He also injured film director Joel Souza, who was treated in hospital with injuries and soon released.
Hutchins was the wife of Matthew Hutchins, with whom she had a nine-year-old son, Andros. On Saturday, Hutchins publicly shared his feelings about the misfortune that had happened on film for the first time since the tragedy. “Halyna inspired us with her passion and vision. Her message is far too important to be summed up in words,” Hutchins described his wife on Twitter.
Halyna inspired us all with her passion and vision, and her legacy is too meaningful to encapsulate in words. Our loss is enormous, and we ask that the media please respect my family’s privacy as we process our grief. We thank everyone for sharing images and stories of her life. pic.twitter.com/LgEp4XVkja
