We’re excited to announce the next film in our 2026 VAFF Year Round series - MAD BILLS TO PAY (Or Destiny, Dile Que No Soy Malo), a vibrant, funny, and deeply human look at growing up fast in the Bronx.

In a tight-knit Dominican community in the Bronx, a teen spends the summer on a beach selling "nutcracker" cocktails, chasing girls and goofing around, until adulthood suddenly comes calling.
