The filming for the title took place solely in Mexico. Sergio Peña, Alejandro Molina serve as producers and Celiana Cárdenas and Marco Casado serve as cinematographers.

“Consciencia” features Zamora as Arthur, who seeks a quiet life, but the memories of his past relationship with Monica as the base for his new relationship with Elizabeth. According to writer-director Peña, the film was born as a thought about the being and perception of oneself before the world. Through Arthur’s story and his relationships, behavior patterns unconsciously develop which leads to an emotional blockade. Starring Rubén Zamora, Bárbara de Regil, and Carla Nieto, the movie provides an intimate look at a middle-aged writer whose diagnosis of an eye disease triggers memories of his former partner as he begins a new relationship. “Consciencia” is Peña’s first feature-length film. Before this project, Peña was a writer-director on the short “La Vie” and a producer-director on the short “Arlecchino: Historia de un Vestuario.”
