Jesse and the Fountain of Youth

The movie is about a street musician named Jesse. The movie takes us through Jesse's continuous challenge of negotiating the line between 'busking' in the subways and keeping the momentum of advancing his career as a musician above ground. We accompany Jesse on this journey by hearing him play for money in the NYC subway system. Through interviews with Jesse and living through the steps of having one of his songs produced, the audience shares with Jesse this ambivalence about staying 'underground' as a musician or taking the traditional route of chasing him dream 'above ground'.
