Goorjian wrote, directed and stars as the main character Charlie in the film called"Amerikatsi," which translates to "The American" in English.

"Charlie's story is really about someone longing for their homeland. Someone who wants to connect with their roots, which I think many Americans can relate to," said Michael Goorjian. "I like making films that inspire people and give them hope. So That's what I would say is the heart of what Amerikasi is."
