'Mute' is a 2005 short film by Melissa Joan Hart and is her directorial debut. The film was first released at the Palm Springs International Festival of Short Films on September 21, 2005, and stars her sister Emily Hart as Eileen, a woman determined to get revenge on her sister.
Synopsis
Eileen (Emily Hart) is a deaf-mute that is sabotaging her sister Claire's (Emily Deschanel) wedding out of a sense of retribution. She believes that Claire is responsible for the accident that left her unable to hear or talk, as Eileen had previously had an affair with her sister's fiancee, James (Dylan Neal). James refuses to believe that his future wife could be capable of such an act, which prompts Eileen's attempt at revenge.
