Inception Film Partners, LLC, a global film sales and distribution company engaged in motion picture and television sales, finance and production has acquired the international distribution rights to the film "Boulevard," starring Robin Williams, Kathy Baker, Bob Odenkirk and Roberto Aguire. The film marks Williams' final appearance in a motion picture.

AFM screenings will be held Wednesday, Nov. 5 at 5:00 p.m. at the Broadway Cineplex 4 and Friday, Nov. 7 at 3:00 p.m. at the Ocean Avenue Screening Room.

In "Boulevard," the routine of EVERYDAY life quietly peels away to reveal the struggle of a loving husband in conflict with his inner-self. Nolan Mack (Williams) and his wife Joy (Baker) wake up under the same roof each morning, their separate bedrooms underscoring the disparate worlds they're living in. Nolan's disconnection carries on in his job at the bank, where even a promotion cannot seem to lift the emptiness that permeates his life. His emotional journey begins to unfold when Nolan encounters a troubled young man (Aguire). Nolan finds himself forced, for the first time, to confront the loneliness of his longtime marriage. While bravely risking every relationship in his life, Nolan opens himself to an incredible opportunity where desire might find its way back into his heart.

"Robin Williams' performance as a man in a heartbreaking struggle to find his place in the world is both heroic and poignant and 'Boulevard' is an extraordinary coda to an indelible performer's life," said Andy Reimer, partner of Inception Media Group.

Directed by Dito Montiel and written by Douglas Soesbe, "Boulevard" beautifully captures the story of individual growth at any age, and the repression that surfaces in idealistic pursuits. With moving performances, "Boulevard" reminds us that things are seldom as they appear on the surface.

Andy Reimer and Jim Harvey negotiated the deal on behalf of Inception Film Partners with Preferred Content and WME, on behalf of the filmmakers. Camellia Entertainment produced the film with North American rights being handled by Preferred Content and WME.
