[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the movie is a western, presumably there will be lots of guns involved, so I would think the armorer should be an experienced one.

I've seen several references to Rust Movie Productions, LLC.  Is it common for each movie production to become a company?  [/quote]

This was an independent film, low budget. It seems apparent that a lot of corners were cut.[/quote]

It surprises me that Alec Baldwin was associated with a low budget film like this.  Yes, he's had problems in the past with anger management, etc., but he's still an A-list actor with an Emmy (or more than one Emmy I think?) to his name. Why would he associate himself or even be a producer on something so low budget and seemingly amateur? It's surprising that an actor of his caliber would even be involved with a production that didn't have similar A-list talent working on set. Surely he could afford to hire the best armorer money and name recognition can buy instead of relying on a 24 yr old amateur that put the entire crew's life at risk. [/quote]

For the last time, Alex Baldwin wasn’t hiring anyone. He was a producer in name only. The film I’ve been working on has a 200 million dollar budget.
Low budget in this case might have been 20-30 million. 
Movie contracts have gotten flimsy. We live in a world that wants constant content. Streaming services are determined to grind out as much content as quickly as possible. They aren’t studios. They didn’t start making films. There are so many player and the industry is out of control. [/quote]
