The Subcontractors
In this dark comedy inspired by true events, five unlikely characters – a retired assassin, a Mexican ex-con, a priest, an exotic dancer, and a dumpster diver – pass on a lucrative job to one to the other, each offering a reduced payout. As the saying goes, “You get what you pay for!”

As a Latino actor, Martin is honored to represent his Latin culture in the world of film and TV. His approach to acting has always been how can he serve this character in this story as truthfully and as honestly as he can. As an actor, his job is to come across believable. Why you ask? Because the audience comes to the movies to connect to something real they can relate and identify with.
