Talk Me is an American-Spanish short drama film, directed by Joecar Hanna and released in 2025. [1] Set in a world where intimate conversation has been outlawed, the film stars Hanna as Pedro, a man stuck in an unfulfilling marriage to his husband, who discovers the emotional intimacy of singing when he meets and becomes fascinated by Kira (Melanie Smith), a free-spirited woman. [1]
Hanna described the film as being partly a metaphor for his cultural displacement as a person of mixed Spanish, African and Asian heritage who often feels like both an insider and an outsider to multiple cultures. [2] He deliberately set the film in a "reversed" world in which sexual imtimacy is permitted but sharing feelings through conversation is taboo. [2]
The film premiered in the Cinéfondation program of student films at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. [3] It was subsequently screened at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, where it was named the winner of the award for Best International Short Film. [4]
