A Simple Machine is the award-winning, debut feature from director Mark Alan Hoffman, featuring a breakout lead performance by rising star Richard Blackmon. A true indie from the PNW, it is a quietly profound tour-de-force stunningly shot by cinematographer Kevin Fletcher (It’s What’s Inside) and scored by renowned composer Mark Orton (The Holdovers, Nebraska).
As the country looks to mark its 250th anniversary amid deep uncertainty, this story offers rare respite - a modern-day, cinematic Walden - a luminous, deeply human meditation on personal freedom, economic independence, and the cost of wanting less in a culture built on more.

Nick Allander is a creative soul – a thoughtful, but indecisive young man with a marketing job, a serious relationship, and a problem – he’s drowning in debt. In a last-ditch attempt to regain his freedom, he abandons his career, sheds all unnecessary possessions, and goes off-grid devoting himself to fixing up an old bike. He might end up homeless and alone or he might just find an unconventional formula for reclaiming one's life.
