PHARMACIST-TURNED-MOVIE Director, Tarun Verma, is mixing his passion for cinematography with his knowledge of medication to produce his debut feature, Conception.
Having previously flirted with short movies, the Texan pharmacist's new release focuses on the story of a couple struggling to conceive.
Leaning on his healthcare background, Verma's lead characters undergo intrauterine insemination and in vitro fertilisation (IVF), and the emotional side effects these procedures can have, in an effort to start their family.
"The women are pumped with hormones, and it affects you, it affects the way you think, it affects the way you feel," Verma said.
"The man's body is perfectly healthy, the woman's body is perfectly healthy, but for some reason, call it destiny, they can't have a kid together."
Conception will be streamed on-demand on various platforms from 11 Oct.
