Co-presented by Argot Pictures. Director/actor Jesse Hartman in person for post-screening Q&A.
Fifteen years ago, Jesse Limbo was a rising musician. But somewhere on the track to fortune and fame, he went off the rails. Today, he's a junkie living under a Cleveland bridge. With nothing much to live for, Limbo spontaneously steals a suitcase of cash from a pair of murderous drug dealers and heads back home to New York City to find Elliot, the teenage son he's never met. But to find Elliot, Limbo must first come face-to-face with estranged best friend Mo Pitkin and ex-wife Emilie. Diving headfirst into the rhythms of his old life in the East Village, Limbo hides out in the club he helped build—the House of Satisfaction—enlisting the help of a reluctant Mo and forming an unlikely alliance with the beautiful and ambitious young singer Frankie.
Set to an exciting, original rock and roll soundtrack and featuring New York artists and performers such as Moby, Murray Hill and Dirty Martini playing themselves, House of Satisfaction unfolds over one long weekend, as Limbo confronts his past, makes new friends and decides if he's got a future.
Director: Jesse Hartman. 80 min. 2009.
