SWEET TALK INTERVIEWS
PLOT SUMMARY: A blocked writer and a troubled young woman, both at loose ends in their lives, meet over a phone sex line. After some provocative verbal dueling, they take an unexpected journey that turns out to be a great deal more romantic and exciting than either of them suspected. This adventure takes them to Budapest on the eve of World War I – where she is a wealthy countess and he is an assassin — and then to Vienna in 1939 – where he is a wounded Resistance fighter and she is his private nurse, trying to reawaken life inside him. The experience unlocks their imagination, enables them to explore the parameters of eroticism, and provides them with some clarity about their lives. “Sweet Talk” is a sexy and poetic film about the transformative power of storytelling.
Sweet Talk is available on the following:
Amazon, Hulu Plus, Vudu, iTunes
RUN TIME: 92MIN
Interview (The Moveable Fest): Natalie Zea on Finding Her Voice in “Sweet Talk”
When Terri Hanauer was looking for an actress with ability to look the part of a countess in 1930s Budapest, a WWII Viennese nurse, and a modern-day phone sex operator who could exude both both the frustration and seductive charm in creating such fantasies for her clients, it wasn’t long before Natalie Zea’s name came up.

JOBLO.COM: The Hottie Stop interviews The Following and Sweet Talk star Natalie Zea
You’ve no doubt seen the lovely Natalie Zea somewhere in your roster of TV shows. The prolific actress has been a part of many high-profile series, including Passions, The Shield, Eyes, Dirty Sexy Money, Hung, Californication, The Following, Under the Dome, and my personal favorite, Justified. It would be pretty hard to avoid Ms. Zea on the boob tube and now she’s making a case to be seen in features (we’ll watch you in anything, Natalie, it’s all good) with her latest film, the Red Shoe Diaries-esque SWEET TALK, where she plays a phone sex operator who takes part in some rather elaborate fantasy role-playing with a male caller.

Popcorn & Vodka Review of Sweet Talk
“’A funny thing happened to me on the way to Vienna,’ says Samson (Jeffrey Vincent Parise) towards the end of SWEET TALK. Yeah, he unexpectedly fell in love over a phone sex hotline, at the same time the audience falls in love with an unexpectedly charming, over the top romantic, and dangerously sexy film. I was totally caught off guard with this movie; having been lured in with the promise of a film about phone sex, instead I became the victim of a bait and switch with a film I could easily and happily play on a 24/7 loop at home. [Note: Not until after I published this did I notice the tag line “An unexpected love story”… Perfect!]” Read full review…
