The Specimen
2012, English. Directed by Paul Cuoco.
This is going to be awkward.
Based on actual events, The Specimen is a comedic short film about a would-be father, a public restroom, and his intimate moment with a specimen cup. In this less than ideal backdrop, he has to battle his performance anxiety, overcome interruptions, and decide how far he’s truly willing to go to become a dad. This is going to be awkward.
