Last year, director Josh Safdie was commissioned by fashion mainstays Andy and Kate Spade to create a one-off video for Spade’s fashion week presentation. Kate Spade’s Ice Cream Soup was born. Happy with the celluloid, the Spades started putting money into Red Bucket Films (Safdie’s brother Benny is one of many Boston-bred co-founder buddies). Now, only a year later, Safdie’s film The Pleasure of Being Robbed, the first-ever release from Red Bucket, has received raves at SXSW, and has created buzz for the return of auteur cinema.
