When Abe Gurko packed his bags and moved from New York City to Hollywood, he developed his skills as a behind-the-scenes creative working with 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. Since then, Abe spent decades producing countless high-profile events: premieres, fashion shows, music videos, and more. He is currently in production on two documentaries: Won’t Be Silent – The history of protest music, co-produced by Selena Gomez and Stacey Abrams and Wolf’s Song about the discovery of a long-lost piece of music written in a concentration camp by his uncle, composer/conductor Wolf Durmashkin.
