Director David Beatty, an able writer and actor in his own right, helped actor-victim-participant Ross Gosla corral this story into an hour-long, one-man (s)hit-show. Ross re-enacts a funny, heartfelt—and at times troubling—grand scheme steeped in a personal epic. Ignoring his own gut feelings, Ross became an accidental tourist unwittingly thrust into an international conspiracy, thereby contorting his own personal narrative into a cautionary tale about the price to be paid for optically-challenged devotion in the pursuit of one's art. He is an almost star in an almost movie that almost started a war. Take guns, light sabers, and moaning elk...mix in a Jedi dreamer, a svengali director, a dodgy unit production manager, and a blue-rinse philo... full review

Wonderfully written. Exceptionally performed. Poignant and heartfelt, brave and impressively honest. Especially as an actor or artist in Los Angeles, this is really an incredible story that I KNOW I've never seen before. Bravo.... full review

This show was an honest and beautifully tragic tale that any person who has ever had a dream can relate to. Ross's performance is unapologetically raw and earnest and had me enthralled from the moment he began to the last second of the show. I highly recommend this show to anyone, but especially to any fellow artists, who I think will be particularly drawn to this powerful, and true, story. ... full review
