Rico is a sharp-tongued, street-smart 19-year-old living in the Bronx, New York. When he tells his mother and sister that he is about to become a father – and that his 16-year-old girlfriend will be moving in – the cramped apartment is thrown into chaos. Problems pile up, and there are no easy solutions.
Read moreJoel Alfonso Vargas has written and directed one of last year’s most original American debut films, shot on a shoestring budget over just 16 days. The film captures the chaos of urban everyday life with an authenticity that can only come from filmmakers and actors deeply familiar with the world they portray. The static camera and remarkably natural performances make it easy to forget that this is fiction.
Mad Bills to Pay is a funny and unconventional coming-of-age film, full of humor and charm, wrapped in documentary-like realism.
