Two 4 One is a Canadian romantic comedy written and directed by Maureen Bradley. The film premiered at the Calgary International Film Festival last year and won the award for Best B.C. Film and Best Emerging B.C. Filmmaker at the Vancouver International Film Festival. Two 4 One stars Gavin Crawford, Naomi Snieckus, Gabrielle Rose, and Andrea Menard.

When transgendered Adam helps his baby-crazy ex-girlfriend Miriam artificially inseminate, they wind up in bed together— and they both get pregnant. Now Adam must reconcile his identity with his biological reality, grapple with his feelings for Miriam, and try to figure out what it means to be a man.

The premise might sound far-fetched, but in an interview with AfterEllen.com Bradley explained where the idea came from. “When my partner was trying to get pregnant we were reading a book called The New Essential Guide to Lesbian Conception, Pregnancy, and Birth by Stephanie Brill. And there was one short paragraph with a warning: be careful if you’re doing home insemination. Wash your hands. Don’t share sex toys. Put underwear on afterwards if you’re going to be snuggling. And there was a line where she said, “If you’re inseminating with a trans man who isn’t on hormones or with another woman, be careful.” And I thought, “Whoa, wouldn’t that be a great storyline?””

Two 4 One is rated 14A.
