About Mad Bills to Pay (or Destiny, dile que no soy malo): Rico belongs to a tight-knit Dominican-American community in the Bronx. He is hustling his way through a carefree summer, selling bootleg “nutcrackers” and chasing girls on the beach. But when circumstances arise that force his girlfriend Destiny to move in with his family, the small apartment becomes the stage for their messy, complicated love life. It is only a matter of time before they must face a sobering reality: they are growing up too fast in a city that waits for no one. Writer-director Joel Alfonso Vargas turns his hometown into the heartbeat of his debut feature film. Teaming up with talent cast on the streets, he and his two leading actors deliver an authentic, slice-of-life portrait of the Bronx. With grit and humour, he paints a tender portrait of the chaos and charm of urban living as well as the ups and downs of youthful abandon when life takes an unexpected turn.
