Chestnut, a film by Jac Cron with Natalia Dyer and Rachel Keller

11 February 2025

Recent twenty-something finance graduate Annie (Natalia Dyer), who’s about to leave Philadelphia and move to Los Angeles for work, meets Tyler (Rachel Keller), and Danny (Danny Ramirez), who seem to be a couple, at a bar one evening.

But neither Tyler nor Danny seem sure they’re a thing, and their ambivalent feelings for Annie only muddy the waters further. Do they have designs on Annie. Or do they not?

No one seems to know. The only certainty being Annie, Tyler, and Danny enjoy slinking endlessly in and out of one bar after another, in the middle of the night.

Chestnut, trailer, the 2023 debut feature of Los Angeles based American filmmaker Jac Cron, struggles to figure out where it is going or what it’s trying to say. But maybe that’s the point, for is that not the plight of many a twenty-something?
