Treat Williams Honored with Posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award at Boston Film Festival

Late actor Treat Williams and his film “American Outlaws” swept the Boston Film Festival Awards this year.

The movie, directed by Sean McEwen, centers on three siblings facing prison time who take matters into their own hands.

Williams, who died in June in the aftermath of a tragic motorcycle accident, was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award, and the movie won Best Film, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Ensemble Cast.

Treat's son Gil was in Boston to accept the Lifetime Achievement Award on his behalf.

Dermot Mulroney was also a big winner, taking home the Film Excellence Award and Best Actor trophy for his role in the indie thriller “Breakwater,” in which he plays an inmate who asks a just-released prisoner to find his daughter.
