Yes, by the title you can pretty much assume which part of the male anatomy Robert G. Putka‘s short comedy Mouthful will be primarily concerned with. However, one shouldn’t assume too much how the premise of a young man and woman discussing that anatomy will play out.
Putka essentially restages the same set-up as his previous short film, Hooka Face and the Virgin Boy. In Mouthful, another sexually anxious young man, Bobby (Conor Casey), gets pummelled with his own insecurities by a more experienced woman, Bliss (Eilis Cahill).
Despite Bobby and Bliss appearing to be about the same age — late teens to early ’20s — Bliss, we come to learn is way more emotionally mature than her anxiety-ridden boyfriend. Their maturity levels are so off that, in some ways, it appears that the two have, in fact, swapped gender roles.

Embedded above is a teaser clip from the upcoming short comedy Mouthful, directed by Robert G. Putka. It’s funny and well-acted, so check it out.
Although Putka has blogged fairly regularly about the making of the film, he’s been particularly mum on the details. The clip above gives a little more detail, but not much.
The director previously made the uncomfortable sexual awakening comedy Hooka Face and the Virgin Boy; and Mouthful seems to at least be following along those same lines.
But, what makes Bad Lit: The Journal of Underground Film particularly excited about seeing the full and complete Mouthful is that the female lead in the clip is actress Eilis Cahill, whose performance we really enjoyed in Andrew Semans’ awkward teen romance All Day Long. It looks like she’s putting in another thoughtful acting job here.

Aaah, young love. Painful, torturous, confusing young love! The complete, awful awkwardness of it all is captured perfectly in Andrew Semans‘ beautiful, endearing short film All Day Long.
In a very subtle, measuredly-paced way, Semans charts the entire course of a first relationship during a single morning and afternoon: From uncontrollable raging hormones to the creeping realization that the two main characters have nothing in common beyond that.
The attraction between Alison (Eilis Cahill) and Daniel (Henry Glovinsky) is clear. Beyond the obvious physical attraction, she is drawn into his rebellious streak. He gives her the freedom to be a “bad girl.” But not too bad as she pulls away from his more aggressive sexual advances.
With minimal dialogue, the film truly exists in the silent moments: The brief pause before Daniel responds “I love you, too.” The long stretches where they have nothing to say to say to each other.
