ہماری فلم [ہائیڈ اینڈ سیک] ایشین امریکن فلم لیب کی 11ویں 72 گھنٹے کی فلم شوٹ آؤٹ مقابلہ فلم سازی کے تحت بنائی گئی تھی، جہاں فلم ساز ٹیموں کے پاس ایک مشترکہ موضوع پر فلم کا تصور کرنے، لکھنے، شوٹ کرنے، ایڈٹ کرنے اور جمع کرانے کے لیے صرف 72 گھنٹے ہوتے ہیں۔ فاتحین کا اعلان گزشتہ جولائی میں نیویارک میں منعقد ہونے والے 38ویں ایشین امریکن انٹرنیشنل فلم فیسٹیول کے دوران کیا گیا۔ سال 2015 کا موضوع 'دو چہرے' تھا جو 'خوبصورتی' کے ایک وسیع تر اور عمومی موضوع کا حصہ تھا۔
Our film [Hide and seek ]was created as part of the Asian American Film Lab's 11th 72 Hour Film Shootout filmmaking competition, where filmmaking teams have just 72 hours to conceive, write, shoot, edit and submit a film based on a common theme. The winners were announced during the 38th Asian American International Film Festival in New York last July. The theme for 2015 was 'Two Faces' and was part of a larger more general theme of 'Beauty'.

میں نے آرٹس کی دنیا میں اپنے سفر کا آغاز ایک ماڈل کے طور پر کیا تھا، اور اس کے بعد اداکارہ، فوٹوگرافر، صحافی اور اب فلم ساز کی حیثیت سے کئی ٹوپیاں بدلیں۔ میں نے سب کچھ دیکھا اور تجربہ کیا ہے۔
I began my career in the arts as a model, before adding my hats as an actress, a photographer, a journalist and now, filmmaker. I've seen and experienced it all.

اگرچہ فلم [ہائیڈ اینڈ سیک] ایک خیالی کہانی ہے، لیکن میں بہت سے ایسے لوگوں کو جانتی ہوں—نہ صرف خواتین کو—جنہوں نے فلم میں میرے کردار جیسی ہی کیفیت کا سامنا کیا ہے، یعنی ایک خاص قسم کی بے توجہی یا نظرانداز کیے جانے کا احساس۔ میں شکر گزار ہوں کہ میرے والدین، بیو اومہارا اور رسل چانگ نے کم عمری میں ہی میرے اندر خود اعتمادی کا ایک صحت مند احساس پیدا کیا۔
While the film [Hide and seek] is a work of fiction, I know many people, not just women, who have felt the way my character feels in the film, a certain kind of invisibility. I am grateful that my parents, Bev Umehara and Russell Chang, instilled a healthy sense of self-esteem in me from an early age.

میں خود کو خوش قسمت سمجھتی ہوں کہ میں اس پوزیشن میں ہوں جہاں میں یہ فیصلہ کر سکूं کہ ہماری کہانیوں کو بیان کرنے کا سب سے مؤثر طریقہ کون سا ہے۔

हम जिस डॉक्यूमेंट्री पर काम कर रहे हैं, वह मेरी मां Bev Umehara के बारे में है, जिनके नाम पर हमारी फ़िल्म कंपनी, 'Bev's Girl Films' का नाम रखा गया है। यह एक ऐसा प्रोजेक्ट है जिसे मैं उनके 1999 में हुए अचानक निधन के बाद से ही बनाना चाहता था। यह फ़िल्म मेरी मां के उस जीवन-उद्देश्य के बारे में है जो उन्हें जीवन के बाद के पड़ाव यानी 47 वर्ष की आयु में मिला, जब वे एक साधारण, मेहनती सेक्रेटरी और चार बच्चों की मां से रातों-रात एक लेबर एक्टिविस्ट, सम्मानित यूनियन लीडर और आम कामगारों, अश्वेत महिलाओं तथा सभी एशियाई-प्रशांत अमेरिकियों के लिए एक मिसाल बन गईं।
The documentary we are working on is about my mother, Bev Umehara, for whom our film company, Bev's Girl Films, is named after. It is a passion project that I have wanted to make since her unexpected passing in 1999. The film is about my mother's calling which came late in life, at 47, when she made the sudden transformation from a humble hardworking secretary and mother of four, into a labor activist, a respected union leader, and a role model for rank-and-file workers, women of color, and for all Asian Pacific Americans.

"Hide and Seek" के निर्देशक के रूप में मैंने सबसे पहला फैसला यह लिया था कि हमारी फ़िल्म मूक (साइलेंट) होगी और इसमें केवल वही मूल संगीत बैकग्राउंड में बजेगा जिसे मैं खुद कंपोज करने की सोच रहा था। यह फैसला मुख्य रूप से यह जानते हुए लिया गया था कि डायलॉग की एडिटिंग में कितना समय लग सकता है, और चूँकि हमने इसे अलग-अलग जगहों पर शूट किया था, इसलिए मैं इतने कम समय में रूम टोन को मिक्स करने की चिंता में नहीं पड़ना चाहता था।
One of the first decisions I made, as the director of "Hide and Seek," was that our film would be silent and use underscoring of original music that I was planning on composing. The decision was mostly predicated on knowing how time consuming the editing of dialogue can be and given the various locations we shot in, I didn't want to worry about having to mix room tones in such a short amount of time.

कुछ कहानियाँ हम अच्छी तरह जानते हैं और कुछ हम धीरे-धीरे सीखते हैं। इन कहानियों को नए दृष्टिकोणों और नए विचारों में ढालना और साझा करना बेहद संतोषजनक होता है।
Some stories we know well and some we learn as we go. Being able to shape and share these stories into new perspectives and new ideas is incredibly gratifying.
