More or less anything that Chloë Sevigny turns up in is worth your time. The star who made her name in Larry Clark’s cult classic Kids, is still killing it in TV series like Bloodline twenty years later.

She’s recently been cast in a film called Slow Machine, described as “a screwball thriller about performance and surveillance”. Directed by Joe DeNardo and Paul Felten, Slow Machine needs financial assistance, but only to the tune of $30,000, meaning that the film – that’s to be shot entirely on 16mm – is going to be a really lo-fi affair.

Writing on the Kickstarter page, the film’s directors describe Slow Machine as a comedy, or like “Andy Warhol directs a Whit Stillman thriller”. Chloë Sevigny plays a character called Chloë, although we don’t know whether or not she’s playing herself, while musician Eleanor Friedberger also has a part.

The plot follows a more-or-less out-of-work actress who enters a romance with an NYPD counter-terrorism specialist. Romance goes bad, actress runs away with Eleanor Friedberger’s band.

If you donate, the filmmakers say in true mumblecore fashion that the money will go on “the occasional prop/supply. It’s possible we’ll need a broom or something at some point. Paint. Stuff like that”.
