Writer/Director – Paul Cuoco

Paul Cuoco is an award-winning director and producer of short films, webisodes, commercials, and branded content for clients like Volkswagen and Famous Footwear among others. Known for his war-based dramatic films Inheritance, Glazed, and the action-fantasy Mercy, Paul crafted his first comedy with The Specimen. He decided to make the film when his own attempts at procreation proved to be unexpectedly hilarious.

Inheritance was about my grandfather’s first-hand experience with the holocaust. The Specimen has a fart orchestra. That’s quite a change of pace, but both stories came from a deeply personal core and reflect the sensibility and emotional state I was in at those moments in time.”

He currently owns and operates the independent content production company, Not Afraid! and themed entertainment consultancy, QCO Entertainment Consulting.
