'Rust' shooting left film locals 'rolling their eyes' at alleged lack of safety measures: 'Just unthinkable'

The "Rust" movie shooting incident in Santa Fe, New Mexico that left its rising star cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, dead – and also sent director Joel Souza to the hospital -- has local film buffs baffled at the alleged lack of safety protocols on the Bonanza Creek Ranch set.

The school houses the college’s film department where for years, it trained students to work in the film industry and Wysong said they have a number of current and former students who are employed by some of the production companies in New Mexico. 

"It’s a very tight-knit community," Wysong added. "What all of my faculty have been kind of most puzzled over is that safety is absolutely paramount and obviously there were some breaches in their protocol on this."
