In 2015, she graduated from the American Film Institute and was selected in 2019 as one of the rising stars of the film industry by the magazine “American Cinematographer”, according to her CV on her website.
On her Instagram page, she described herself as “a restless dreamer” and “addicted to adrenaline”.

April Wright, screenwriter, director and producer, wrote on Facebook: “I refuse to believe it. So young, with so much liveliness and talent. Such a beautiful soul. “My heart is close to my son and her family.”
“I can not believe that something like this happened at this time… fire from a shotgun to kill a member of the crew? “It’s a horrible tragedy,” said actor Joe Manganiello, who co-starred with Hutchins in the 2020 action film “Archenemy.”
Hutchins spokesmen did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters.

The 63-year-old actor is devastated

The accident brought back the debate on whether certain types of bullets should be banned.
In March 1993, 27-year-old actor Brandon Lee, the son of martial arts star Bruce Lee, was shot dead during the filming of The Crow.
The gun was loaded with ammunition, but the autopsy showed that the actor was hit by a 0.44 bullet trapped inside the barrel that was fired when the co-star pulled the trigger, hitting him in the abdomen.
The investigation carried out concluded that it was a case of “negligent” homicide.
