Captured using an old mirror photography technique, the photos exuded a lifelike quality, captivating Aung Thura's attention to make the decision to leave them as they were originally displayed.

However, he shifted gears to realize his dream with the release of the Myanmar-language film "The Only Mom" in Thailand, already a hit in Myanmar.Navigating linguistic barriers, Chartchai collaborated with Myanmar sisters for his previous project.

Inspired by the country's landscapes and spiritual beliefs, he chose Yenanchaung as the setting for "The Only Mom".Chartchai's storytelling reflects a commitment to cultural exchange, evident in his upcoming TV series on Thai-Myanmar history.

Yenanchaung, an arid region in Myanmar, served as the film's main setting, with a colonial-style house filled with old photographs being a central location for much of the shoot.

Additionally, the filmmakers employed the wet collodion process, a 19th-century photography technique, which may have required special setups to visually integrate with the film's themes.
