Being in show business is tough, but being an actor in Denver is tougher, so when performer and full-time computer repairman, Arthur Martinez, hires two indie filmmakers to make a feature film with him as the lead, he realizes he’s in over his head. “You guys have ruined my life,” Arthur says one moment immediately following with, “This is the best film I’ll ever be in.” The filmmakers scrap the genre film Arthur had intended them to make — instead quickly designing an entirely new project based around his real-life persona, which becomes more and more elusive as the production steams ahead. Once Arthur realizes what the filmmakers are up to, his protective measure is to hide behind a mask, keeping the filmmakers questioning: are any of Arthur’s moments on camera truthful or is it all just a performance in the end?

Blurring the line between a narrative movie and a documentary, Actor Martinez is a film experiment that’s difficult to unpack but hilarious to watch unfold.

Some movies about making movies (Truffaut’s “Day for Night,” for one) are charming. The self-references here, while intriguing, approach a comic navel-gaze. Actor Martinez has a saving grace, however: Ms. Burdge.

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 film aims to be a cautionary tale, but it doesn’t seem that the filmmakers have absorbed the lesson.

Spanning the longest 75 minutes you've ever yawned through, Actor Martinez is a meta-documentary in the spirit of last year's infinitely more engrossing Kate Plays Christine, in which a real-life actor is followed around by a film crew while preparing for a difficult project.
