The fatal shooting struck a chord among film industry workers, who held vigils for Hutchins in Albuquerque and Burbank. The film production industry has a rate of roughly 0.9 fatalities per 100,000 full-time workers during the last decade, The Times’ analysis found. The Associated Press published similar findings on film set accidents in a 2016 report. The Times’ review found nearly $1 million in penalties for violations related to film production incidents since 1990. Those penalties have been relatively small compared with settlements and jury verdicts stemming from film production accidents and fatalities.
