I had heard about this event from the earlier event locations - this is a "pop-up" style market…read morethat moves around Atlanta, typically over a holiday weekend. On this occasion, it was the Memorial Day weekend on 2018.10.5 - 2018.10.07 and the market took place at the North Point Mall at 1000 North Point Cir, Alpharetta, GA 30022, along the side facing the JC Penny's anchor store. This is an outdoor vendor-oriented market featuring imported goods and a huge assortment of food. In Asia markets like these are done at night to escape the heat of the day - typically they go on pretty much all night but of course this US market is a bit more pragmatic. I met a friend after work on the first night (Friday) right when it opened, about 5:00 PM. The market was just getting started so some of the food vendors weren't quite ready and some tents were unoccupied, but this was remedied by the time we left. Admission was $10 but could have been less if we'd bought online prior to the event day - we decided to just pay at the gate. Oh and most of these vendors were cash only so keep that in mind - there are several ATMs but you get to pay those fees. I'd say that the "International" aspect was very well represented by a super diverse assortment of vendors and a crowd to to match. There were the typical saree and handbag sellers plus one booth that had leather jackets. I saw many, many different ethnic groups from all over the world - lots of fun to be had. There's also a stage with music that continued for most of the night with some live local acts and a DJ spinning a broad-time-spanning assortment of well-mixed dance music. But of course the real reason I attended was to sample the food. The food ranged from near-local to far reaching Asian - there were at least two different Lao vendors, Snackboxe Bistro and a Thai/Viet/Lao vendor that served Pad Thai, Papaya Salad and skewers of meat. There were also several Indian vendors including the nearby Dekkan Spice (very good) so a good mix of local restaurants, caterers and food trucks. I saw a couple of Halal places including a whole BBQ goat. We settled on a mix of Thai and Island cuisines, the latter being a veggie and noodle stirfry with teriyaki chicken. I thought both were quite good and less than $10. The Hawaiian rotisserie looked amazing but wasn't quite ready or I def would have gotten the pork ribs or turkey leg. There was also a vegan section with many restaurants within if what I described above scared you. I think there was plenty to sample something unusual and come away full. There were many drink vendors selling lassies and other cold drinks including many fruity drinks. I only saw one beer vendor but it was large and well placed sith several local craft brews - I ended up with a Creature Comforts Tropicalia IPA but also say a Three Taverns sour and a Steady Hand Farmhouse Ale (Saisson) as options. Overall I liked the event but coudn't stay much more than the hour or so (commitments elsewhere) but did have fun while there. The people serving were really nice and accommodating and good about answering questions. It was starting to get crowded so that was my queue to get out anyway - I don't deal with the jostle of the crowds - when my beer gets bumped it's time to leave!

Out of all the acting classes I've taken - and I've taken a lot of great ones - Martinez' class is the ONE that led me to breakthroughs that I feel I should have had ages ago. I attribute this to the fact that he addresses important aspects of performance that aren't typically in the curriculum of other classes. It's honestly such a relief to learn skills that just WORK (as opposed to concepts that may be valuable in the abstract, but less applicable to what you physically do when on set and in auditions.) I appreciate that I can actually SEE the difference in my self-tapes (and subsequent auditions/bookings!) after practicing and applying what I've learned. I've been recommending Actors Habitat to my friends who have been in the industry for years in order to identify what is truly working for them (and what might be holding them back,) because Martinez focuses on SPECIFIC physical techniques that lead directly to a better presence and performance on screen. But it's also super valuable and accessible for newer actors. Shout-out to my acting buddy who recommended Actors Habitat to me - I OWE YOU ONE - because it has really helped me level up. And to all y'all reading this review, yeah, after you take Martinez' class you can find me on set and thank me later. read more

Martinez is kind of the Godfather of Acting coaches in Atlanta area. I have been taking classes with him and is very impressive learning that he has been on many great films and T.V Shows. The best part apart, aside from taking classes and personal coach sessions is his personal experiences and insights into the many great movies he worked were the few actors (such as Rick Grimes from Walking Dead show, Ben Affleck from Deep water) and directors (Adrian Lane from Deep Waters, Greg Nicotero from walking Dead, Darren Grant from Saints & Sinners). Martinez deeply cares for his students and their success in the industry, you can always count with a positive feedback and he never stops until you get into character. Martinez is one of the very few who teaches technique, on camera and couches with so much passion. I highly recommend his classes without any doubt; I personally book a role thanks to his classes and couching. I actually found myself having hard time putting down my lines and get into character which I can said I have been growing in confidence. Ivette Alvarez read more

Martinez is truly invested in his students. He's not a teacher because he has to be or one that is staring at the clock because it's just a job to him. He is EXTREMELY generous with his time and his feedback. He truly wants you to grow as an artist and provides insight into the business, as well as, the craft. I would recommend his class Living Subtlety Through the Lens for novice actors and working actors alike who want to keep themselves sharp. I have not taken other classes at Actors Habitat but if the one I have is any indication then take the leap and study from working actors who are great at what they do and want to help you be successful too! read more
