Mart Sander, PhD, is an award-winning filmmaker, actor, best-selling author, musician, visual artist, and television host. He holds the Guinness World Record for Most Roles Played by a Single Actor in a Film. As a painter, Sander has been a three-time finalist in the prestigious Art Renewal Center Salon, the world’s largest realist art competition. In 2026, his painting The Sick Poet received an Honorary Award. He describes his creative philosophy as follows: “I want my art to be so quixotic and alienated from reality, so rigidly conformist and traditional, that it eventually becomes as trendsetting and alternative as a straight marriage in an omnisexual world.”
