Experiencing Interruptions?

Love is not Love

Early December, New York City, and everyone is on the hunt for love. Why? Because they haven’t found it and because they haven’t found it, they make it into a myth and chase the myth instead. That is not love in this romantic drama of fantasy, fate, and yearning.

Stephen Keep Mills bade a fond farewell to the Yale Drama School (and the great Stella Adler) in the spring of 1969 to act with the Guthrie Theatre and subsequently performed on 20 years’ worth of regional stages across the US and Canada. He appeared on and Off- Broadway and guest-starred in over 25 episodic TV shows and Movies of the Week. He wrote and directed his first film, the 15-minute award-winning short: A Cigar at the Beach in 2005, then followed that up with another award-winning short: LIMINAL in 2008, starring Alejandra Gollas and Tonya Cornelisse, both of whom also star in Mills’ 2020 award-winning debut feature: Love is not Love now distributed by Random Media. Mills is currently preparing Durante una tarde a screen adaptation of famed Italian Playwright Ugo Betti’s 1947 play: Ispezione with a Latin cast.

Director Statement


I want to put the viewers in places and situations they recognize but without dropping the breadcrumbs to tell them how they got there. I want to open their private eye onto the impressionistic world of the Interior. Our shared Interior. The drama of the private “I”.
