Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a wave of uncompromising Quebec short cinema examining masculinity and vulnerability, often funded by SODEC grants that prioritize risky, regional storytelling over commercial safety.
The title 'Mutants' refers to Coach's baseball team name, but also Keven's bodily changes—and how both become tools of manipulation. The film never lets you forget which mutation matters more.
