The Gursky Project
The Gursky Project is a Behind the Scenes exploration of the planning of the 2012 Bamboozle Festival and its return to Asbury Park, NJ. The project is shot and edited by Samuel Gursky and is produced by Samuel, along with Festival creator John D. They stopped filming following disagreements about the festival which ultimately ended up with John D. resigning from LiveNation and leaving The Bamboozle festival.
Kosher Pick(les)
In early 2014, Samuel was instrumental in the creation of the multi-media project titled "Kosher Pick(les)". The project, which ran on the Lower East Side ("LES") of Manhattan for over 6 months, gained notoriety both for its original use of kosher dill pickles across multi-media platforms and a notorious, project-ending stunt gone wrong in which Samuel attempted to anally insert a Claussen pickle while singing Katy Perry's hit song "Firework".
Brooklyn Rocksteady
Brooklyn Rocksteady is a documentary exploring the Ska/Rocksteady scene of New York City between the years of 1981–2011, featuring exclusive interviews and live footage from members of many notable acts such as The Slackers, The Toasters, The Forthrights and more.
The project was funded partially by crowd-sourced funding using the website kickstarter.
