not to be confused with the Duncan Jones sci-fi mystery MUTE project.

dystopian 5:50 length short called MUTE

MUTE was directed by The Brothers Strause of Skyline fame and AVP: Requiem infamy a few years back and at the height of cyberpunk mania. It's about a world where people can't hear and there is no music.

Now, before you cry foul, yes, "Mute" was created by Alpine Electronics. It was created as part of Alpine's long-term, global marketing strategy to subtly promote the 25 year-old brand in a fresh and relevant way to younger consumers.

It has loads of atmosphere and does remind me of The Matrix and Dark City (1998) and a little bit of Tron Legacy.
Mute was made in 2003 with Budget: $220,000 (estimated)
