Alec Baldwin is not off the hook for Halyna Hutchins' death as far as the "Rust" cinematographer's Ukrainian family is concerned -- her mother is ripping into him, and refusing to attend the film's debut screening.

00:00Well the Alec Baldwin film rust the movie that was filmed in New Mexico, you know where the
00:07Accidental shooting of cinematographer Helena Hutchins happened angels who's killed and Joel Sousa the director also was shot survived
00:15But Joel was there for the premiere of rust
00:20It is finally here the movie premiered at a film festival in Poland this morning as you saw
00:26That was Joel speaking to the the audience before the film
00:29There was some controversy here in that they had invited Helena Hutchins family her mother father and sister live in
00:37Ukraine neighboring Poland and certainly could have made the trip
00:41But they released a statement yesterday from Olga
00:44Just saying that there was no way that she would go and support this film and it's because of Alec Baldwin
00:50She said Alec Baldwin continues to increase my pain with his refusal to apologize to me
00:56And instead he seeks to unjustly profit from his killing of my daughter
01:01That is the reason why I refuse to attend the festival for the promotion of rust
01:05Especially now when there is still no justice for my daughter
01:09Yeah, her mother clearly harbors some hard feelings towards Alec Baldwin
01:12It is an unforced error to not have given her some sort of apology
01:16He's now through the criminal trial that never and they said they settled the civil case and they settled the civil case
01:21It seems like a gesture he could make at this point
01:23But I you know, I understand her feelings and not wanting to revisit that trauma
01:26But it's nice that this film is coming out in another sense to sort of see her vision
01:31Bianca Klein spoke movingly at this at the premiere
01:34She's the new cinematographer and said this is really part of her legacy
01:37So in that sense, I do want to see the film and there will be interest in it two things
01:41Um one Alec Baldwin was not there which makes sense. Yeah, they had said they weren't going to invite him
01:46This felt it would be right too much of it
01:48And the second thing is when she talks about profiting from the film
01:51He is an executive producer on the film, right?
01:54And and I don't know what his deal is, but typically, you know in low-budget movies like this
02:01You know the star in this case also the executive producer would get what we call back-end which means profits
02:07So I think that may be what she's referring to. Yeah, I'm Lindsay and I'm in Indianapolis
02:12I understand that Olga feels that an apology would be in order but from a legal standpoint
02:18I don't know if Alec Baldwin can or should be apologizing
02:23No, he can you know the should you can answer but the can I can answer he can
02:29Because the civil case is over and the criminal case is over so he doesn't have any liability in that sense
