What is Project Mkhexe about?
After his brother Sean takes his own life, Tim picks up a camera to document the funeral and the wreckage left behind. Sifting through Sean's belongings and digital footprint, Tim stumbles onto an elaborate rabbit hole: an internet urban legend surrounding a classified program the government supposedly scrapped after catastrophic failures. The deeper Tim digs, the harder it becomes to separate authentic archival traces from fabricated hysteria. What started as a mourning exercise slowly reshapes into something far more unsettling, forcing Tim to question whether his brother was a troubled man chasing shadows — or someone who got dangerously close to a buried truth.
Cast & crew
Director Gerald Robert Waddell works in the found-footage and low-budget genre space, building tension through raw, intimate cinematography. The ensemble features Ignacyo Matynia anchoring the film as Tim, supported by Jordan Knapp, Will Jandro, Jennifer Lynn O'Hara, Dwayne Tarver, Sebla Demi, Katrina Eroen, and Joe Solana Simon in roles that populate the mystery's widening circle.
Context & significance
For Persian-speaking viewers in the diaspora, conspiracy thrillers that interrogate government secrecy carry a particular resonance — distrust of institutional authority is woven into the lived experience of many Iranians abroad. Project MKHEXE taps that same vein through an American lens, using grief and found-footage aesthetics to examine how obsession with hidden power structures can consume ordinary people. The film is available with a Persian dub and Persian subtitles on K-Time, making it fully accessible whether you prefer to watch in Farsi or follow along in the original English.
