PayDay
Selwyne "Get Bizzy" Brown | 75 min | Barbados | 2013
Released on September 4th in Barbados, PAYDAY is creating huge BUZZ, This first feature by Selwunny Get Bizzy Browne captures a raw slice of Bajan community life. We follow Romie, an aspiring mechanic and ladies man, and his brutally honest best friend Pack, as they invest their entire salaries in a down-payment on a garage. Their goal is to establish a successful mechanic’s shop to get away from their boring jobs as security guards, their loving yet eccentric and demanding families, and poor standard of living in their village – Pickletons. The simple task of making their down-payment to the garage owner at the village lime that night is hilariously complicated by Romie’s love-life, and Pack’s love for cannabis. The chaos and laughs multiply as the best friends go to extremes to avoid violent drug men, a charity collector and a crazy ex-girlfriend.
"Payday" Title Track by Fantom Dundeal ft. Stephanie Chase from the Official Payday Movie Soundtrack
