'Rust' camera chief says set safety was 'massive issue'
CNN
The head of the "Rust" camera department who submitted a letter of resignation one day before the fatal shooting on the Santa Fe, New Mexico, movie set last month is going public with claims of an unsafe working environment, calling safety on the project a "massive issue."
In a brief comment to CNN Tuesday night, Lane Luper, the A-camera first assistant, said crew was "rushed and unsafe" on the set of the western.
He expanded in an interview with ABC Wednesday, citing lax "gun safety, a lack of rehearsals, [and] a lack of preparing the crew for what we were doing that day."
