I did some googling and it seems like she should’ve been considered too inexperienced for the job, from what I read, westerns are particularly difficult due to the amount of guns on set and should’ve been supported by a crew of multiple armorers?
She’s also simultaneously facing charges of concealing firearms to get them past a bouncer then showing off that she snuck a gun in on social media, so idk how much sympathy I have for her…
Oh… Have no sympathy. This production absolutely should have had more armourers than it did which is one of many reasons why every slimeball Producer deserves to be fined on the thing. She herself was so far off best practice she might as well have been on the moon so the liability pie has a slice for everyone involved.
I have worked shows like this and there’s a certain attitude Production takes where they tend to actively pick and reward people they know will cut corners because doing things slapdash is cheaper and saves them money long term. I have my own tales of Production sleeze that could have gone fantastically wrong and ended up with people dead but didn’t because of basically just luck.
Thanks! I don’t know much about filmmaking.
