Caveh gets profiled in the New York Times.

Overview

ComedyDrama

Independent Filmmaker Caveh Zahedi is trying to make a television show. He persuades BRIC TV, a Brooklyn non-profit Arts organization, to finance a television show whose premise is that every episode will be about the making of the previous episode. In the process of creating the show, everything can-and does-go wrong. The cast, a who's who of Brooklyn's independent filmmaking community, includes Alex Karpovsky, Eleonore Hendricks, Dustin Defa, and Onur Tukel.

Standout Aspects

Writing

Scripted unscriptedness blurs reality until you can't trust anything.

Acting

Karpovsky and crew play themselves with delicious awkwardness.

Direction

Zahedi's self-lacerating vision turns ego into art.

Best for:Solo: Late-night rabbit hole for film nerds who love discomfort.·Binge: The meta layers stack beautifully—watch at least two back-to-back.
Heads up:Triggers: Real relationship conflicts aired publicly; secondhand embarrassment is real.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

BRIC TV is a real Brooklyn public access station; their actual executives appear, blurring whether they knew what they were funding.

Cultural

Zahedi's earlier film 'I Am a Sex Addict' established his confessional style—this series weaponizes that reputation against itself.
