The Mutant official fan film, created by the Swedish film production companies Stellarvoid, Standard Film Team and Strym Media was made on a shoe-string budget. Screenwriter and director Albin Glasell describes making the film as a dream come true.

“I grew up on post-apocalyptic games and films, but the world of Mutant always stood out,” says the short film director. “There is something about the atmosphere, the humor and the characters you encounter which really makes Mutant unique. You can definitely call the making of this movie a passion project for me, but in all fairness, it has been a passion project for the entire crew. Everyone has gone above and beyond, and I hope it shows on screen,” says Glasell.

The Mutant franchise dates back to the 1980s, with the release of the tabletop role-playing game of the same name. Last year came the first video game adaption, critically acclaimed Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden. It was initially launched on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but has since then also been released on Nintendo Switch. The expansion Seed of Evil was released July 31st, 2019.
