A Bronx Hustler Prepares to Become a Father in a New Film

A new film centers on Rico, a 19-year-old Dominican American selling nutcracker cocktails on the beach during the summer. His world shifts when his girlfriend Destiny moves into his already packed Bronx apartment after finding out she is pregnant, adding new tension and complexity at home. Actor Desinty Checo, who plays Destiny, joins us, along with writer-director Joel Alfonso Vargas, to talk about Mad Bills to Pay (or Destiny, dile que no soy malo) ahead of its theatrical release on Friday, April 17. Vargas will present a Q&A following Friday's screening at Film Forum (sold out) with additonal screenings and events at Regal Concourse in the Bronx.
