About Last Take: Rust and the Story of Halyna:

  • The incident quickly attracted intense media scrutiny. In the ensuing months and years, as legal actions and criminal proceedings took place, the sensational coverage surrounding the event eclipsed the profound personal loss experienced by those involved

  • The film skillfully weaves together the accounts of individuals who were on the set of Rust with the viewpoints of others, including Mason herself, who not only grieve the loss of a cherished friend and colleague but also continue to confront the lasting effects of the tragedy.
  • By leveraging public court records, exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from Rust, and special access to key individuals and resources, including Halyna's personal archives, the film explores the official investigations into on-set safety protocols while also examining the personal moral reflections of those involved.
