ABE GURKO...WON'T BE SILENT
When Abe Gurko packed his bags and moved from New York City to Hollywood, he wasn’t leaving a career in the fashion industry to chase the usual dream of becoming a movie star. “I wanted to be a mechanic to the machine called celebrity.” Over the next few years, he developed his skills as a behind-the-scenes creative working with arguably the coolest woman in Hollywood, Carrie Fisher. There, he acquired an intimate knowledge of the writing process and observed the inner workings of the entertainment industry. “I was like Alice careening through the Looking Glass, Mad Hatter and all.”
Abe is currently in production on two documentaries:
Won’t Be Silent – The history of protest music, co-produced by Selena Gomez and Stacey Abrams for MAX.
Wolf’s Song – A piece of music written in a concentration camp by his uncle, composer/conductor Wolf Durmashkin.
