Distancia was conceived from a conversation with my then-girlfriend, now my wife, that challenged my perception of God and questioned whether I believed in His inherent goodness. Initially, I was taken aback by these questions, but they catalyzed an exploration of my spiritual and existential theology.

This introspection was rooted in the painful experience of losing my sister to cancer at a young age while growing up in a household of faith. Unconsciously, we had collectively agreed that God was good, but this belief seemed to work only in hindsight – the notion that "He works all things for good." I genuinely believed in this divine benevolence because I had witnessed it. However, the crucial question that surfaced was whether I truly believed in God's goodness for me and those around me in the present and future.

Distancia was born out of these questions. I embarked on the journey of writing the script, envisioning an odyssey in which Juan, the protagonist of Distancia, could search for answers about God's goodness, irrespective of his circumstances. Could I guide Juan on a path where he could discover God's goodness, regardless of the challenges he faced? Was such a revelation even possible for Juan, for me, or for anyone else?
