Bryan Sullivan was recently featured in The Hollywood Reporter’s article “Inside the Secret ‘Rust’ Settlement: Why Did Halyna Hutchins’ Widower Drop His Suit to Become an Executive Producer?” The article examines the options available to Matthew Hutchins and the film’s producers during the suit, and why the late cinematographer’s husband ultimately decided to settle.

In the article, Bryan explained why the film’s producers operated under Rust Movie Productions (RMP), a limited liability corporation, and the impact it had on this case. He noted, “the whole point of creating [Rust Movie Productions] is for liability purposes.”
