As a filmmaker, I like to explore the unconventional dynamics of human relationships.'Father on Rent' as an idea germinated from the perspective of a no-filter thinking Gen Alpha kid, who makes an unexpected demand, turning his mother’s world upside down.
The film has a quirky take on the complexities of imperfect families in today's society." Chrome Pictures showcases an endearing tale of unconventional family bond with its upcoming film, 'Trial Period', which will premiere on July 21.
