The chilling short explores the complication of middle-aged marriage and the mental distortion resulting from sins and confessions. MUTE delves into the territory of somber human behavior, making the story a fascinating psychological thriller.

Inspired by hitchhiker tales, director Kyle Dubar clicked with Stephen King’s original short tale Mute. “I really wanted to execute the first feeling I had from reading the novel Mute and I didn’t want to overthink pace or style. Adapting Stephen King’s work is no easy doing, but being a devout fan I wanted to make one of his stories and render it justice with the right cast,” says director Kyle Dunbar.

“I love the character of Monette and I wanted to convey someone who just has to let his shit out, so the emotions are all over the place. Monette has so much dialogue and the challenge for me was to kind of let it go wherever it was going,”adds actor Andrew Bee.

MUTE, based upon a short story by Stephen King. Written for the screen & directed by Kyle Dunbar.
