FILIBUSTER NYC

ROLE: Director of Brand & Production

MEDIA: Experiential

Filibuster NYC was an experience development and production company catering to the creative professional community. In 4 years, we grew from a small cabin retreat to boutique music festivals and large scale events featured in Gothamist, Flavorpill, and Guest of a Guest.

We were a small team that worked and supported all disciplines. Personally, I helped lead the development, production and implementation of our seasonal events.

Here are some of our favorite events.

 

SUNSET SOUNDS

Our staple event - three years in a row we've taken 500+ New Yorkers away from the city into the lush Hudson Valley for a 1 day pop-up music festival. Food trucks, live music, field games, giant inflatables, lazers - always the best day of the summer. 

 
 
 
 
 

SQUADRON

The most unique of our events which will definitely be making a comeback in summer of 2018. We took 100 New Yorkers on a BYOB rafting trip down the mighty Delaware River - it was naturally followed by a riverside BBQ and dance party. No casualties.

 
 
 
 
 

MATING CALL

A de-hibernation celebration to kick off our 2017 summer. A brooklyn based event - we allowed NYC to get outside during the Spring defrost for some music and fresh air. Animal inspired outfits were welcomed, but not required.

 
 
 

FEARGÄRDEN

We closed out our 2016 season with our spookiest event yet, FearGärden. A haunted beer garden mashup combining the best of Halloween & Oktoberfest in a Brooklyn backyard. Beers, zombies and a 15+ piece punk disco brass band.
