Tarun Verma on His Infertility Film "Conception"

Written By Lora Shahine, MD

Many infertility journeys happen behind closed doors, but the new film "Conception" puts IVF in the spotlight. In this Baby or Bust episode, reproductive endocrinologist and host Dr. Lora Shahine meets with writer, producer, and director Tarun Verma to discuss the making of his film about infertility.

As a former pharmacist who was heavily involved in the fertility space, Tarun was inspired to create a story that followed a couple undergoing IVF. Now debuting his film "Conception," he shares the thoughtful considerations behind this project. Dr. Lora Shahine and Tarun discuss real-life moments that inspired the script, assembling a diverse cast, capturing the complexity of experiencing infertility, and where you can view the film.
