Albuliwi, like Hutchins an AFI Conservatory alumnus, has delayed pre-production on his upcoming series “Sex Addict” in order to campaign for “Halyna’s Law.” The filmmaker described his AFI fellows as a “tight knit family” that he stays in contact with, some of whom worked with Hutchins on the set of “Rust.”. “Everything was building up over the course of weeks and I’m just sad that it had to end up this way.
The director said he first learned about the tragedy from a Facebook post shared by Bill Dill, a cinematographer and senior lecturer at AFI. “Bill Dill, who was Halyna Hutchins’ mentor at the American Film Institute conservatory, shared a post on Facebook an hour after she was killed and it started a conversation among the AFI fellows,” Albuliwi said. “I was sick to my stomach, so I went to Change.org and basically wrote down everything that I thought was wrong with Hollywood.”, which currently has over 115,000 signatures.
