“When I started writing ‘Art of Deception,’ the concept of neural nano chips was more science fiction than reality. They are rapidly becoming a reality with companies like Elon Musk’s Neuralink and Blackrock’s Synchron. These incredible technological advancements make the narrative of ‘Art of Deception’ even more compelling and timely for today’s audience. I am very appreciative and grateful to those with whom I have been able to share the creation of ‘Art of Deception,’ and I am inspired and excited for what is yet to come,” shared Ryan.

“Art of Deception” is a thrilling exploration of the ethical dilemmas posed by advanced technology. The film resonates in an era where AI and brain-computer interfaces are pivotal in scientific discussions. The film captivates viewers with intense action sequences and dramatic plot twists, providing a deep, thought-provoking experience. The film also stars award-winning actress Jackie Nova (“American Crime Story: Impeachment,” “Everybody Hates Chris”) and features the multi-award-winning cinematography of Vishal Solanki (“Caffeinated, ”Leaving the Factory).
