Lacking work in his hometown of Denver, computer repairman and aspiring actor Arthur Martinez decides to hire indie directors Mike Ott and Nathan Silver to document his life, and consequently become the star of a feature film. However, as the project evolves, the directors' and Arthur's vision increasingly differ. It becomes clear that watching Arthur perform tai chi, mingle with the local Denver theater community, and drive around town, will not provide enough drama to carry a film.

Everyone involved in Actor Martinez deserves kudos for the effort, but the unengaging result would be better chalked up to a failed experiment rather than shared with others in theatrical settings.

The self-references here, while intriguing, approach a comic navel-gaze. "Actor Martinez" has a saving grace, however: Ms. Burdge, radiating her customary charisma.

Whether the real-life Martinez is this hotheaded and quick-tempered is left a mystery, but it matters not a whit, because even five minutes in the company of this Martinez is excruciating.

A headscratcher apt to keep you guessing whether what you're watching is real or simply staged... Overall, mildly amusing, but nothing to write home about.
