A fearless indie epic that exposes how far the powerful will go to silence a girl who refuses to stay quiet.

SAN FRANCISCO - Nov. 24, 2025 - PRLog -- Hollywood keeps choosing safe, recycled stories. Mud and Silk doesn't. Producers called it "too complex," "too emotional," and "too honest for Hollywood," which only confirmed it needed to exist.

Set in Tsarist Russia, the film follows Sofia, a quiet soprano whose voice becomes dangerous once the powerful realize it can move crowds in ways they can't control. Their fix is Peter — a state censor ordered to silence her before her influence spreads.

But Peter isn't the obedient weapon they expect. The closer he gets to Sofia, the clearer it becomes: she isn't the threat — the regime is. His assignment becomes a collision of duty, truth, and a love that puts both their lives at risk.

Refusing to dull the edges, first-time filmmaker Nadine is building Mud and Silk independently in San Francisco, far from the executives who tried to flatten it into something forgettable.

Early readers call it "raw, human, and too honest for Hollywood — which is exactly why it works."
