This is first time that director Ortiz work with actor Rodolfo Rodríguez and writer Papo Clark, the three are in development of a new script written by Clark, that will star Rodolfo with a story by Salvy and his longtime collaborator composer Francisco Morales.
The resemblance of Rodolfo and young actor Andrés Carrasquillo was so strong that the crew members thought that Andrés was Rodolfo's real son. Director Salvy Ortiz said that it was a blessing having Andrés on the project not just for the resemblance to Rodolfo but because the kid could act.
The script of Deceptio was once a english language story called "Blood Cancer" written by Clark a few years earlier, just before director Salvy Ortiz took the script and changed it to spanish and restructured it with Clark to make it more attractive to producers so they could find the funding to make the film.
Deceptio's co-producer Lian Machin, apart from being a producer, she's a local actress in Puerto Rico and she's playing the lead character in Ortiz's new feature film.
