Today’s interview is for a project that certainly falls out of the norm and is unlikely to be repeated or copied anytime soon. With a film that was over 20 years in the making, director Mark Craig’s documentary Talk To Me, is a tour through lives captured by answer phone messages, set to a collage of photographs and ephemera, in one continuous 23 minute take.
