An intricate short film peppered with explicit sex scenes, emotional complexities and dark secrets, Hush, is a 20-minute local production which centers on themes such as kinship and sexuality. It tells the story in a day of the life of a typical Singaporean family made up of a widowed father (Vincent Tee), his three daughters (Evelyn Marie Ng, Janice Yeo, Cassevonrie Chia), and their personal struggles in life.
Director Jeremiah R. Oh decided to release Hush after a three years hiatus because of the personal attachment he felt for the project back in 2007. He also thought that Singapore "was not ready" for it yet.
Passed with a rating of Restricted 21 (R21) without a single cut, Jeremiah revealed that he was initially "all prepared for a ban" due to the Hush's provocative sexual scenes that are "never-seen-before" in local films.
In his 30s, the director spent "quite a bit of time" convincing lead actress Evelyn Marie Ng to go nude for the scenes in Hush. The duo first got to know each other when he was still schooling and doing his first production, Eden, which also featured the actress.

IF YOU find actress Evelyn Maria Ng vaguely familiar, that's because you would've seen her in two local English television dramas.Hush credits and casts
The freelance actress-model, who is of Irish-Chinese descent, played a spunky teenage schoolgirl in Moulmein High (2001) and poly student Light Years (2004).
Ng, who is in her mid-20s, has certainly moved on. For her lead role in Hush, she had to film several sex scenes and appear topless.
