While that setup might sound ridiculously outlandish, Maureen Bradley's Two 4 One presents the outlandish premise with enough realism to make it pretty believable. Bradley could have easily taken this story in a comedic freak show direction, showing Adam navigate the world as a visibly pregnant transgendered man, goatee and all. Instead, she gracefully avoids that part of the narrative, dealing solely with the time before Adam begins to show.

Former MoMA senior curator of film Laurence Kardish selected the films, which will arrive in New York and travel to Los Angeles and additional markets.

Thanks to your votes, the unconventional pregnancy story "Two 4 One," won this weekend’s Project of the Week contest! Congratulations to “Two 4 One" director Maureen Bradley. The filmmaker will receive a digital distribution consultation from SnagFilms and the film is now officially a candidate for Project of the Month. That winner will be awarded with a consultation from the Sundance Institute. Here's what the project's about: Adam gets a frantic call from his psycho ex. She wants moral support while she inseminates with donor sperm—but she gets a lot more. We discover Adam is transgendered while at a consultation for phalloplasty where he discovers he’s accidently pregnant. But Adam is becoming a man and men don’t get pregnant. So obviously he’ll get rid of it. But just as he’s about to, Miriam miscarries. She can’t have a baby. Adam is holding her only hope at family.
