Mother of late Galina Hutchins refuses to attend ‘Rust’ premiere because of Alec Baldwin

Olga Solovey, the mother of videographer Galina Hutchins, still blames Alec Baldwin for her daughter’s death. Even after the court acquits the actor, he does not change his mind.

Olga Solovey refused to attend the premiere of the western movie “Rust” at the EnergaCAMERIMAGE film festival in Poland because it hurt her. “I wanted to see my daughter’s work come to life on the big screen. Unfortunately, that was taken away from me when Alec Baldwin killed my daughter. He continues to increase my pain with his refusal to apologize to me and take responsibility for her death. Instead, Nightingale told The Hollywood Reporter that she was trying to gain unfair advantage from my daughter’s murder.

Festival organizers announced that Galina Hutchins was a regular participant and wanted her work to be exhibited as part of the programme. Therefore, the premiere of the film on the set where she died is a tribute to the memory of Galina and the fulfillment of her will.

Let us remind you that the murder of cameraman Galina Hutchins occurred on October 21, 2021. The investigation revealed that props manager Hannah Gutierrez-Reed had mixed up the cartridges and given actor Alec Baldwin live ammunition instead of blank ammunition. As a result, Galina died and the film’s director, Joel Souza, was injured. A few weeks after the incident, another crew member was fatally bitten by a spider. Lighting specialist Jason Miller received extensive treatment to prevent amputation on his arm. Work on the film only resumed in 2023, with post-production wrapping up this spring.
