The MUTE Series is a web series I've created, written and directed. It's a collection of eighteen very short deadpan films that cast a mordant eye over mini-moments of absurdity. The series is a back-to-basics experiment in cinematic minimalism with each episode being made with adherence to three strict rules: RULE 1
RULE 2  no camera moves
RULE 3  only one shot
"Ridiculously funny."
— SCRIPT Magazine www.scriptmag.com
“Funny, thoughtful, and surprisingly twisty… The MUTE Series represents the spirit of digital content… The MUTE Series is worthy of respect — and, perhaps, study.”
— TUBEFILTER www.tubefilter.com
“This series has understood what the post-aesthetic treatment of the 21st century is going to be… Here is a talent that should be signed by Studio+ or Blackpills.”
— ARPA.TV www.arpa.tv
“Hilariously deadpan.”

"(re: Deliverance) “Brilliantly handled by Lambert and his silent cast. Those contemplating a period of self-isolation will no doubt appreciate this irreverent spin on a life lived off-grid.”
— DAVID REVIEWS www.davidreviews.com
“Like a modern-day Jacques Tati, Lambert creates his own absurdist universe out of life’s funny moments,”
— Joanna Hogg, Director of ‘The Souvenir’
