Overview

• Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, was released from prison on May 23, 2025, after serving 15 months of her 18-month sentence.
• Her parole conditions include mental health assessments, electronic monitoring, a curfew, and a prohibition on firearms ownership or contact with Hutchins' family.
• Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty in March 2024 for negligently allowing live ammunition on the 'Rust' set, which led to Alec Baldwin discharging a loaded prop gun during a rehearsal.
• Her defense has appealed the conviction, arguing that broader production safety failures contributed to the tragedy.
• The film 'Rust,' completed in Montana, was released earlier this month, more than three years after the fatal shooting halted its production.
