“Inconceivable” began as a film about pregnancy, and the physical and emotional journey women undergo to bring life into the world. But when we found ourselves unable to conceive, everything changed: the story, the focus, and our approach to filmmaking. We were forced to grow. Not just as artists, but as people. Without going through the struggle ourselves, this film wouldn’t exist.

What emerged was a project that pushed us creatively and personally. It expanded our sense of what a documentary can be: not just a vehicle for information, but a mirror for the emotional and existential weight of real life. We had to learn to turn the camera inward, to capture pain and doubt without self-pity, and to balance scientific inquiry with raw, personal truth.

We’re proud to have created something that goes beyond entertainment; something that can raise awareness, foster connection, and contribute to public dialogue. For us, success means that this film reaches others who are navigating similar hardships, and perhaps even nudges health policy toward greater accountability and care.

Early on, we were offered funding for this film, but it came with expectations to soften or dilute the story we knew needed to be told. We turned it down. The subject was simply too personal to compromise. So we made this film independently, over four years, working nights and weekends while supporting ourselves with commercial work. One way or another, we were going to tell this story as honestly and as rigorously as we could.
