Talking to Strangers is a 1988 American drama film directed by Rob Tregenza. It marked Tregenza's debut as a feature-length film director, screenwriter and cinematographer. It is composed of nine scenes, each one filmed only once and presented as an uninterrupted ten-minute take. Except for the first and last scenes, the remaining seven were arranged in a random order chosen by Tregenza's computer.

The film was shot in widescreen 35 mm and mixed in Dolby Stereo sound. It was made on location in Baltimore, Maryland where Tregenza and his wife and producer, J.K. Eareckson, were already established as artists and industrial filmmakers, creating advertisements and corporate films to financially support their work in experimental filmmaking.
