A scene from "Actor Martinez," which results in a hybrid documentary and feature film. According to an official statement, ""Actor Martinez" explores the distinction between performance and life, and the relationship between subject and director. Directors Ott and Silver become characters in the film; as they wrestle with Arthur for control of the project it becomes less clear who is manipulating whom." (still courtesy of Brigade Marketing)
