The film was an experimental narrative in which he re‑enacted his unrequited love for a UCLA art student, using real-life participants.
In 2004, Zahedi released Tripping with Caveh, a 30‑minute film which was originally intended to be used as a pilot episode for a television show that did not eventuate.
[2] In 2005 Caveh's film I Am a Sex Addict was released, which took fifteen years to make due to financial and production difficulties.
Through re‑enactments, the film recounted Zahedi's struggle with his addiction to prostitutes and the havoc it wreaked on his marriages and romantic relationships.
[3] Since that time, Zahedi has made several short films, including "Dada", published by Focus Features,[4] and "The Unmaking of I Am a Sex Addict," released on the DVD magazine Wholphin.
