Hong Kongs Golden Scene is handling world sales forMontages of a Modern Motherhood.
Chan says the first treatment for the film was a lot darker.
The film was initially titledHer Lullabyand Chan started pitching the story in 2019.
Her film also seeks to challenge the shifting perceptions of motherhood in society.

I used real babies for the sound, so we have to wait for them to cry.
Its also hard for us to shoot the next action or thing in the same scene because theres overlap.
A lot of times on set, were actually waiting for the baby to either wake up or sleep.
She also has three other treatments in development.
