Show Notes

The film industry was in shock last week when a director of photography was shot dead on the set of a movie in New Mexico.  The shot was fired by Hollywood legend Alec Baldwin.

 

On today’s Briefing we ask the question everyone wants answered – how could such a thing happen?   Marc Malkin is senior editor at Variety and host of the 'Just for Variety' podcast.  Marc talks about Baldwin’s future….and explains what the fallout will be from the incident.  We’re also joined by John Bowring, an Australian armourer and gunsmith who has worked on thousands of film sets.  John explains HOW the accident occurred and why it will happen again.

 

On today’s Briefing…we go behind the scenes of the Alec Baldwin shooting in New Mexico.
