Walk the Talk (film)

2000 film From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Walk the Talk is a 2000 Australian black comedy film[5] written and directed by Shirley Barrett and starring Salvatore Coco, Sacha Horler, and Nikki Bennett. Having been impressed by Barrett's debut film Love Serenade, David Geffen at DreamWorks Pictures agreed to finance the film.[3] However, DreamWorks later found itself unable to market the film and feared that the film's disturbing content would not fit well in its television output deals, ultimately releasing it on DVD sometime in 2003.[1][5][6] The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, 2000, and was given a limited theatrical release in Sydney and Melbourne on March 15, 2001, by 20th Century Fox.[1]
