The Californer/10282467

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Art Thief will be released on streaming. The film is based on the unsolved Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist of 1990 in Provincetown when two thieves disguised as Boston police stole thirteen works of art, including Rembrandt's only seascape, The Storm on the Sea of Galilee.

The film stars Max Deacon, whose credits include Pretty Little Liars and
Into the Storm. Deacon plays Kevin Deeley, an incarcerated art enthusiast who doesn't have the means to be a collector. Deeley becomes an artist and then a thief who transforms himself into a respected art collector and is accepted into Boston's upper social circles.

After stealing a painting from a local museum, an untalented but passionate artist is thrust into one of the biggest art thefts in history. Inspired by the 1990 robbery of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, which was the largest property theft, the film stars Max Deacon (Into the Storm) and Jacqueline Emerson (The Hunger Games).
