#OregonMade “A Simple Machine” was written up in MovieMaker magazine recently. Directed by Mark Huffman and based on a book by Portland writer Evan P. Schneider it tells the story of a young man who adopts radical thrift to try to get out of debt.
According to MovieMaker “The film fascinatingly addresses, with precision and detail, something that most movies gloss over: the finances of its protagonist. Nick’s biggest early move is to sell his car in favor of a bike, which becomes a metaphor for self-sufficiency.”
