“Halyna was shooting the Western Rust when she died,” Schneider wrote. “Women cinematographers have historically been kept from genre film, and it seems especially cruel that one of the rising stars who was able to break through had her life cut short on the kind of project we’ve been fighting for.”
Born in 1979, Halyna was the daughter of military parents and grew up on a Soviet base ‘in the Arctic circle’.
Halyna is a Los Angeles based union cinematographer who graduated from the AFI conservatory in 2015 and has since established a track record of successful narrative features. Halyna was selected as one of American Cinematographers’ Rising Stars of 2019, her website reads.
