Actor Alec Baldwin on Thursday shared a letter on his Instagram account by members of the “Rust” crew in defense of the film production in which a cinematographer was killed by a live bullet.

In the open letter, cast and crew members pushed back against the portrayal by some other crew of “Rust” as an unsafe production, and described instead a set where morale was high and working conditions fair.
