The Story

Don't Wanna Love You

It’s past closing time. The last plate has been cleared, the lights hum low, and the only sound left in the restaurant is the rhythm of running water.
Ana stands at the sink, hands submerged, but her mind is somewhere else entirely.

Her boss walks by, pausing just long enough to say: “Stop daydreaming.”
But Ana’s not just drifting — she’s drowning.
In thoughts. In desire. In fantasies too vivid to ignore.
What her boss doesn’t know is that Ana isn’t just lost in thought — she’s in love with her.

Not the kind of love you confess.
The kind that lives in glances, in imagined touches, in midnight fantasies that repeat like a loop. Ana sees herself dancing with her. Kissing her. Being chosen, if only for one night.
She replays it again and again — building a romance in her mind where reality leaves nothing but silence.

Don't Wanna Love You is a story about the ache of unspoken desire, about confusing obsession with connection, and how a love that only exists in your head can still leave you completely undone.

Afterwords

Working on this project was an unforgettable experience. I had the privilege of collaborating with an incredibly talented team from Colombia, united by a shared vision crafted by Lowe.

Together, we told a powerful story about a toxic love that exists entirely within the imagination — a delicate balance between reality and fantasy, desire and delusion. It was a challenging project, both emotionally and creatively, but one that offered immense reward.

I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to direct this piece. The cast and crew poured heart and soul into every moment, and the collaboration on set was seamless. Seeing it all come together — from the first idea to the final frame — was a moment of real pride.

I’m incredibly proud of what we created, and I couldn't wait to share it with the world.
