7pm Doors | 7:30pm Showtime Film Break Society Richmond, a program of new independent feature films every month at Richmond&rsquo;s premier art-freak funhouse Studio Two-Three.&nbsp; &ldquo;In a tight knit Dominican American community in The Bronx, Rico (Juan Collado) is hustling his way through the summer, selling bootleg &rdquo;nutcracker&rdquo; cocktails out of a beach cooler and chasing girls without a care in the world. But when his teenage girlfriend, Destiny (Destiny Checo), begins crashing at his place with his family, turning their small apartment into a stage for their messy, complicated young love, it&rsquo;s only a matter of time before they&rsquo;re hit with the sobering reality of 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, teaming up with street-cast talent Collado and Checo, to deliver a raw and deeply authentic look at life in The Bronx. With humor and grit, Vargas paints a tender portrait of the chaos and charm of urban life, and the ups and downs of youthful abandon when things take an unexpected turn.&rdquo; &ndash; Oscilloscope Labs Proceeds benefit Film Break Society, a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to big screen presentations of new independents and restorations.

WTO/99 (2025) at Studio Two-Three

Q&amp;A with Richmond filmmaker Melody Roscher A bride-to-be with a secret agenda returns to her hometown, using her wedding plans to manipulate everyone in her orbit. ---- BIRD IN HAND (2025)Starring: Alisha Wainwright, Christine Lahti, James Le Gros, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Jeffrey Nordling, K. Todd Freeman Runtime: 90 min Release date: 2026 Inspired by Roscher&rsquo;s own biracial experience, BIRD IN HAND follows the newly engaged Bird Rowe (Alisha Wainwright) as she returns to her rural hometown to plan the wedding with her narcissistic hippie mother Carlotta (Christine Lahti). Bird also has a hidden agenda, one that leads her to her mother&#39;s new neighbors, a misguided couple on a mission to &#39;rebrand&#39; a plantation. Truth, lies, and fantasy collide against that backdrop, leading to a surprising climax as tender as it is funny.
