In a later post, Chen added, that his focus now is "finding a teenage girl in Singapore that can play a JC student."

The applicants will go through a series of auditions and performance workshops before the actual casting in the second half of this year. Production is slated to commence in 2022.

Per Deadline, the film, which will reunite Chen with actors Yeo Yann Yann and Koh Jia Ler, will “continue the director’s exploration of domestic relations and familial dynamics and touch on themes of privilege, class, and inequality as they are brought into sharper relief by the COVID-19 pandemic.”
