A coming of age story about debt, freedom, and a bike

ABOUT

In order to get out of debt, Nick Alander, makes a series of radically frugal lifestyle choices without telling his girlfriend-practically-financeé that he's fixing up an old bike and going off grid. He might end up homeless and alone, or he might just find an unconventional formula for reclaiming one's individual freedom. A Simple Machine is a story of self-reliance, the ingenuity of simple tech, and the conflict between individual freedom and consumer culture. It was shot in Portland, Oregon by the award-winning cinematographer Kevin Fletcher (It’s What’s Inside) and scored by academy-nominated composer, Mark Orton (The Holdovers, and Nebraska). It stars Richard Blackmon in a breakout lead role and has left audiences both crying and laughing on its way to festival Audience Awards.

Written and directed by Mark Alan Hoffman

Inspired by the novel A Simple Machine, Like the Lever from Evan P. Schneider

Starring: Richard Blackmon - Gabriela Quezada Bloomgarden - Brad Carter
