Boulevard (2014)

It's never too late to make a U-turn

Nolan Mack, a soft-spoken bank employee, undoubtedly loves his wife Joy, though their cavernous empty house only underscores how disconnected they’ve always been from each other. Nolan finds himself drifting from his familiar present-day life in pursuit of lost time after meeting a troubled young man named Leo on his drive home. What begins as an aimless drive down an unfamiliar street turns into a life-altering series of events.

Interesting facts

Boulevard is a 2014 American drama film directed by Dito Montiel and written by Douglas Soesbe. Starring Robin Williams, Kathy Baker, Roberto Aguire, Eleonore Hendricks, Giles Matthey and Bob Odenkirk, the film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 20, 2014. The film was theatrically released on July 10, 2015, in a limited release by Starz Digital.

Production

Screenwriter Douglas Soesbe underwent a similar coming out experience, telling the Creative Screenwriting website, "I came out very late and with a great deal of guilt. This movie is not about me, but I really understand that character."

Soesbe wrote the first draft of the screenplay, which was set in Los Angeles ten years earlier, and because of its subject matter, did not expect it to be produced. When producers showed interest in the project, Soesbe rewrote the script to set the story in a small town that would be "more constricted than Los Angeles".
