Tarun Verma's directorial film debut, 'Conception,' explores the depths some couples are willing to go through to experience just that by means of in vitro fertilization (IVF).
"And it's just madness is something that just sticks with you like to see these couples, month in and month out spend the kind of money they do on fertility treatment, and they just want a child more than anything," Verma added. This reviewer was able to get a sneak peek at the film during a red-carpet premiere of "Conception" and noticed the main characters in the film were financially well-off but still burdened by the expensive costs as treatments piled up.
"I did want to touch on 'this stuff isn't cheap,' you know, going through IVF, like, I've had patients who have spent over $100,000, doing IVF, you know, unsuccessfully, and they keep going and going and going and, you know, to the average person out there, we don't know someone has $100,000 to go have a kid, you know what I mean?" Verma explained.
"We actually shot this movie at the start of the pandemic," he said. "So you know, we had to use Houston, but I wanted to use Houston because I think Houston is great, even just our city alone the way it looks from the suburbs to the city." "I wanted to make sure I also stay true to Houston," Verma added. "If we're going to shoot in Houston, man, let's shoot in the best parts of Houston.
