“Dirty Beautiful” is the first feature from writer/director Tim Bartell, and it shows the verve of young talent stepping into the spotlight as well as all the jitters that come with it. It’s one of those classic “write what you know” storylines: aspiring young filmmaker wandering through life. David (an earnest Ricky Mabe) draws storyboards for others instead of working on his own script. He’s a disaster with women, then a challenging one falls into his lap and essentially writes herself into his story as his instant girlfriend.
