How to Bake a Cake in the Digital Age

"A half-hour comedy special set in a cooking show that may or may not ever start, starring Christina Catherine Martinez, who may or may not be playing a character that may or may not be having a real emotional breakdown."

Filmed in November 2020 at Human Resources Gallery in Los Angeles, Christina performs her jokes for an audience of no one but the small crew who is filming her, some of whom may or may not be figments of sound design. HTBCDA grinds the lens of Martinez's live stand up material for the screen, peering into the constructed nature of the filmed comedy special, and the constructed nature of the performer herself.
