Global superstar Jennifer Lopez collaborates with iconic music video director Dave Meyers for the narrative musical film “This Is Me…Now: A Love Story” from Prime Video. Ben Affleck, Matt Walton, and Dave Meyers wrote the film’s script that showcases Jenny from the Block’s journey to love through her own eyes.

Also brought under focus is her ardent faith in astrology – something made evident when Jane Fonda leads an astrological court observing Lopez’s actions from what appears as a mystical cosmic dome (interpreted distinctly outside the dream context).
Jennifer Lopez and renowned music video director Dave Meyers demonstrate no inclination towards realism or logical consistency but rather embrace spectacle and emotional intensity. The inaugural section successfully delivers just that: extending over merely an hour, it chronicles Lopez’s voyage filled with purposefully exaggerated visuals, intricate dance routines, delightful tunes along with special appearances from her famous friends,
