As Bleecker Street Turns 10, Indie Studio Stays Committed to Making Movies for Grown-Ups
Independent thinking and bold moves has fueled Bleecker Street through the market’s ups and downs for 10 years.
Bleecker Street executives Kent Sanderson and Myles Bender can vividly remember their first time seeing “Eye in the Sky,” a drone warfare thriller starring Helen Mirren and Alan Rickman that premiered in 2015 at Toronto Film Festival with hopes of finding distribution. In 2013, the company behind arthouse favorites like Wes Anderson’s “Moonrise Kingdom” and director Lisa Cholodenko’s “The Kids Are All Right” moved from its New York headquarters to Los Angeles and received a mandate to release movies with more global appeal. On the horizon, Bleecker Street will attempt to field the next arthouse hit with a slate that includes “Rumours” and director Mike Leigh’s “Hard Truths,” which premiered to raves at this year’s Toronto Film Festival and has been granted a prime awards season release date of Dec. 6.
