about: DILLON CHRISTIAN NOVAK
‘Sweet Talk’ takes place in a carboard room, with a cardboard city that parallels every location in the real work. The story is about a cardboard robot that is rejected by nearly every thing/person he encounters in life and finally give up. He finds love only after he rips his heart out.
