Four-slice toasters just don’t cut it anymore. Fridges aren’t worth a thing if they can’t make ice, filter water, and massage your head all at once. Ovens? They have to turn themselves on and knead the cookie dough beforehand. Modern appliances are daunting pieces of machinery these days, and few are more scary than the next wave of coffee makers. Kiss the Krups of yesteryear goodbye, and say hello to rigs that wouldn’t be out of place in a Starbucks. Is this what growing up means? In John Chuldenko‘s Nesting, it kind of does. The film, starring Todd Grinnell and Ali Hillis, centers on a couple who aren’t quite settled into the idea of growing up and moving on with their lives – and their coffee maker isn’t helping matters. The pair embark on a fun trip to their past, hitting their old neighborhood and their favorite haunts from their early twenties, including their former apartment – which they start squatting in while they relive their supposed glory days. With a coffee maker like the one they’ve got sitting at their “real” home, you can’t really blame them for taking a break. Afraid of modern kitchen appliance technology? Then this exclusive clip from Nesting is for you. Check it out after the break.

Growing up is never easy, and it sure as hell doesn’t get any better when you’re convinced that your old life (and the younger version of you) was the better existence of the two. In John Chuldenko‘s Nesting, thirtysomething couple Neil (Todd Grinnell, who looks and sounds like an indie Paul Rudd) and Sarah (Ali Hillis) find that their “grown-up” lives aren’t all they’re cracked up to be – packed with “nesting,” picking out furniture that has color names based on snack foods, and knowing stupid trivia about The Bachelor (of all things). Unhappy in their current lives, Neil and Sarah decide to take a trip down memory lane, and right back into the neighborhoods they spent their twenties in (Angelenos will recognize scads of Silver Lake and Echo Park locations from this first trailer alone). However, Neil and Sarah aren’t content with just visiting their old lives – they want to slip right back into them. And that includes breaking into their old apartment and setting up shop, like some hipster version of old-timey homesteaders. Well, more specifically, they’re criminals now, but when they start having a good time again, it looks like their illegal activities might just end up paying off. At the very least, they get to throw some pretty cool after-parties. After the break, get hip to Neil and Sarah’s wicked party with Nesting‘s first trailer.
