HOLLYWOOD, Calif., April 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- A Urban Morgan Productions Inc. has just announced the completion of the full-length feature film, "Deception." The husband-and-wife team, Raoul Morgan (Executive Director) and Fatimah Bey (Co-Executive Director), have overcome all obstacles presented by COVID-19. The world-altering pandemic caused the film industry to come to a complete stop. "Deception" was filmed during this unprecedented time while ensuring the health and safety of the cast and crew. Through pure determination and hard work, the exceptionally talented husband and wife team persevered during a time of uncertainty to create their first film under A Urban Morgan Productions Inc. Los Angeles-based parent company, Omega & a Red Productions (President Jay M. Brooks), worked in association with the husband-and-wife team. The film was written and directed by Justin Williams, who currently resides in Houston, Texas. "Deception" marks the directorial debut for Williams.
Williams and his team of filmmakers recognize a lack of accurate representation for people of color within the entertainment industry. They want to represent an accurate portrayal of diversity and create exposure in art through filmmaking. They believe that celebrating and accurately representing your own community is a powerful way to give back to society; while challenging deep-rooted societal stereotypes. During the largest movement in history pertaining to the fight for civil rights, equality and justice, it is time to challenge these stereotypes. Through the art of filmmaking, they want to reveal more authentic Black stories. The film has completed the post-production phase and is now ready for distribution.

Triggered by Tommy's deceitful actions, Lauren's emotions become unstable and her behavior escalates from shock to bitterness to pure rage. She embarks down a path to get rid of Tommy, whom she blames for ruining her life and sabotaging her dreams of having a happy family. Despite being newly-scorned, Lauren unexpectedly meets Xavier (played by Xavier Alvarado), who appears to sweep her off her feet. She feels hope for her future again, but is still driven by Tommy's betrayal. Lauren sets forth on her path to deal with her ex-husband's infidelity. Lauren's quest to rectify Tommy's betrayal takes a dramatic turn, when she comes face to face with the anonymous contract killer she employed.
