This avowedly autobiographical deadpan comedy, directed by and starring Caveh Zahedi, details the life of an insecure young man who becomes addicted to prostitutes, and finds himself unable to stop even though it destroys all of his relationships. His solution: he makes a film about his predicament. And it's one of the drollest, most original films of the year. – TriBeCa Film Festival In this utterly sincere and unabashedly funny autobiographical comedy, we bear witness to filmmaker Caveh Zahedi's lifelong struggle with sex addiction. Using re-enactments and documentary footage, Mr. Zahedi delves into his obsession with prostitutes while in the midst of an unhappy marriage. When his marriage falls apart, Caveh engages in a variety of strategies to diffuse his obsession and vows that each encounter will be his last. After a series of failed relationships and broken promises, Caveh finally finds a way to overcome his obsession and starts on a journey toward a healthy relationship with himself and with a significant other. I AM A SEX ADDICT is a story of addiction and obsession, told through a deconstructive style of filming and storytelling, not for the modest or faint of heart. Starring Caveh Zahedi, Rebecca Lord, Emily Morse, Amanda Henderson, Olia Natasha, Corinna Chan, and Greg Watkins – Film Independent Adult language, Nudity and Sexual Content.
