Inā paha ʻoe he mea hoʻoweliweli weliweli, kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo Karen Lam, ka mea hoʻopaʻi hoʻopaʻi Evangeline, he hana kūmau. Ma hope o ka hoʻihoʻi hou ʻana i Nowemapa ma Ke Koko i ka Snow Canadian Film Festival ma Toronto, Kanada, Evangeline e kolo ana ma VOD Mei 8, 2015 a ma DVD / Blu-Ray Iune 9, 2015.

E noho nei ʻo Evangeline Pullman (Kat de Lieva) i kahi ola malu me kahi makuakāne he kahuna haʻi ʻōlelo koʻikoʻi. Ua hāʻawi ʻia ʻo Evangeline i ka manawa kūpono e hoʻomaka hou i ke koleke ma ke ʻano he makahiki hou. Nui ka pīhoihoi o kāna hoa noho hou ʻo Shannon (Mayumi Yoshida) e lawe aku i kāna hoaloha hilahila hou ʻo Evangeline no kahi manawa maikaʻi ma ka pāʻina frat "off the hook". ʻIke ʻo Evangeline i ka maka o nā mea he nui; Eia nō naʻe, ʻo Michael Konner (Richard Harmon) ka mea i ʻimi loa ʻia a me kāna mau hoaaloha ʻelua e hoihoi loa i kēia ʻōpio ʻōpio. Ke noho nei ʻo Evangeline i kahi moe ʻino maoli e alualu ʻia a alualu ʻia i loko o ka ululāʻau hoʻoweliweli e Michael a me kāna mau henchmen, kahi i hahau nui ʻia a waiho ʻia no ka make. Lawe ʻia ke kino makamae ʻo Evangeline e kahi ʻuhane e hāʻawi ana iā ia i ka manawa kūpono e hoʻopaʻi ai i ka poʻe i komo i ka luku ʻana i kona hala ʻole.

Ua hana kahi luna kākau kākau ʻo Karen Lam i kahi hana kupanaha e hana ana i ke ʻano ʻo Evangeline. Naʻu, ʻo Kat de Lieva i kui iā ia! Ua lawe ʻo De Lieva i ke ʻano Evangeline i nā palena. He hana nui kā De Lieva o ka hana ʻana iā Evangeline i "kaikamahine maikaʻi" a laila lilo i kaikamahine moekolohe i mamao loa mai ka hala ʻole, a laila pono e hoʻohuli i ke kaʻina holoʻokoʻa. Ua lilo ʻo Lam i manawa nui e hoʻomohala i ka hala ʻole o ke ʻano, a hoʻopau koke ʻia ia. ʻO nā hopena i ʻike ʻia i kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni he ʻokoʻa a me kahi helu kūpono. I kekahi manawa, hāʻawi mai ʻo Evangeline iaʻu i kēlā hale hope loa ma ka manaʻo hema, kahi mea maikaʻi loa loa iaʻu. ʻO wau ka mea mua e hoʻohewa i kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni no ka hoʻomohala ʻole ʻana i kā lākou mau huapalapala, akā ʻaʻole koi ʻia kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. Ua hoʻomohala koke ʻia ke ʻano Evangeline, a ua hiki iaʻu ke hoʻokau iaʻu iho i loko o kēia ʻano. I kekahi manawa, ʻano lokoino kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni akā paʻakikī ia i ka nīnau inā e huli aʻe paha kahi kanaka a makaʻu paha i ka lilo ʻana o kekahi i ka mea ʻino. Hōʻike ʻo Evangeline i ka nāwaliwali e hana ai nā wahine ʻōpio i nā wahi āpau. Hōʻike ʻo Evangeline hiki i nā wahine ke kāohi a ʻimi i kahi ʻano hoʻopaʻi, a hoʻopaʻi i ka poʻe i hoʻohana pono ʻia i kēlā mau ʻano nāwaliwali, me ka wili!

Ua hana ʻo Karen Lam i ka manawa holoʻokoʻa i ka ʻoihana kiʻiʻoniʻoni a me ke kīwī no ʻumikūmālima mau makahiki i hala. Ma ke ʻano he loea hana a loio hoʻokipa, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Karen i kāna ʻoihana. Mai ia manawa ua hana ʻo Lam i ʻehā mau kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, ʻewalu mau kiʻi ʻoniʻoni pōkole, a ʻekolu mau kīwī kīwī. ʻO ka ʻAha Kuhina kāna kiʻi ʻoniʻoni mua, a ʻo ia ka mea kākau / alakaʻi no kēlā kiʻi. Ua lanakila ka 'Aha Kuhina i ka makana NSI Drama Prize ma 2006. Mai ia manawa ua kākau' o ia i ehiku mau kiʻi kiʻi kiʻi keʻoniʻoni, kuhikuhi i ka hapalua kakini mau kiʻi pōkole, kahi wikiō mele, a me nā kiʻi hiʻonaʻelua. Koha ʻia (2010) a me ka Evangeline (2013).

ʻO ka hihiʻo a me ka hoihoi nui o Lam no ke ʻano weliweli a ʻo ka wahine e hana nei i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, kahi weliweli, ua wehe i koʻu manaʻo e pili ana i ka hana kāne kāne i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. No ka lōʻihi o ka pili ʻana o nā wahine me nā kuleana, akā ʻo Lam ka mea kū i waho e hoʻonoho i kahi ala i ka noʻonoʻo hou. Ua lawe ʻo Lam i ka manawa mai kāna papa hana nui e kamaʻilio me aʻu e pili ana i kāna hana i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni a me Euanelio. I ka!

iHorror: Hiki iā ʻoe ke wehewehe i kou hoʻoulu manaʻo no ka hana ʻana i kāu kiʻi ʻoniʻoni Evangeline?

ʻO Karen Lam: ʻO ka manaʻo kumu i kiʻi ʻia mai kaʻu kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, "Nā ʻāpana pēpē", kahi i hōʻike mua ʻia ai ʻo Evangeline. Ua manaʻo wau i kēia wahine pēpē pepehi ma Hong Kong i koʻu wā e hoʻolimalima manawa ana me koʻu tūtū wahine – e make ana. Ke laʻa nei ʻo ia i ka pō, a hoʻomaka wau e hana i ka lumi huikala. (Huli aku Nā ʻāpana pēpē).

KL: Aloha au i ka hele ʻana ma waena o nā pōkole, nā hiʻohiʻona, nā kīwī a me nā pūʻulu pūnaewele i hala iho nei. Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia meahana nā kuʻi kū hoʻokahi a e ʻae iaʻu e hana i kahi mea ʻokoʻa. Hāʻawi ka pōkole iaʻu i kahi manawa kūpono e hoʻokolohua maoli me ka ʻenehana, a ʻae nā hiʻohiʻona i kahi moʻolelo nui aʻe.

iH: He aha nā hoʻāʻo a me nā uku āu i ʻike ai ma muli o ka hana kāne ma ke kaiāulu?

KL: ʻO nā pilikia nui loa i ke kālā, akā manaʻo wau ʻo ka pilikia kēlā me kēia. Hoʻolālā nā mea hoʻopukapuka a me nā mea hāʻawi e heluhelu i nā palapala i kekahi ʻano, a manaʻo ʻole wau ʻike lākou e hele mai me nā stereotypes ikaika. ʻOi aku ka ʻōnaehana o ka like ʻole ma mua o ka hoʻokae kūʻokoʻa. Paʻa i ka lima no ka mea ʻaʻole maopopo.

iH: Ma ke kau o Evangeline he aha ka hōʻaʻano nui loa āu i kū ai?

KL: Hoʻi i ka moʻohelu kālā, akā manaʻo wau. Loaʻa iā mākou nā mea i makemake nui ʻia ma mua o ka mea e ʻae ʻia e ka moʻohelu kālā a me ka papa kuhikuhi, akā ua hana wau i kahi kākau hou ʻana ma ka palapala ma mua o ka hele ʻana i ka pahu paʻi kiʻi no laila ua hana ʻia ka nui o nā pilikia ma ka pepa. Kōkua ia he ʻumikūmālima mau makahiki a ʻoi paha o ka hana ʻana.

iH: ʻO nā ʻike i hoʻomanaʻo ʻole ʻia ma ka hoʻonohonoho āu e makemake ai e kaʻana?

KL: Manaʻo wau ʻo ka hiʻohiʻona leʻaleʻa loa ke kī ʻana ʻo ia ke kahua haʻuki me kaʻu mea hana keaka ʻo David Lewis. Ua hoʻouna mai ʻo ia iaʻu i kahi leka uila āna i makemake ai e hana ʻōlohelohe i kēia hanana a kuhi hewa wau iā ia ma ke ʻano he "lumi ʻauʻau." Ua ʻae au, a ua hoʻomau ka poʻe e nīnau iaʻu inā maikaʻi wau me ia. I ka heluhelu hou ʻana i ka leka uila, ʻike wau makemake ʻo ia e hana ʻōlohelohe i ka hanana āpau, akā ua ʻōlelo ʻē wau. Eia naʻe, ua hāʻule ka soka no laila lilo ia i lā pīhoihoi maoli ...

 iH: Hiki i nā papahana e hiki mai ana ke kūkākūkā?

KL: ʻO wau wale nō i ke kaʻina hana o ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā rewrites ma nā palapala hiʻohiʻona ʻelua hou, a ke kī ʻana i kaʻu pepa hōʻike hiʻohiʻona lōʻihi loa. E pili ana i kahi pāʻina, akā mai hopohopo: e loaʻa ke koko.
