CALIFORNIA TYPEWRlTER launches us into the bittersweet moment when a beloved technoIogy, the typewriter, faces extinction. Delivering a thought-provoking view on the changing dynamic between humans and machines, director and three-time Grammy Award winner and nominee Doug Nichol explores the mythology attached to the cIassic typewriter, as cuItural historians, collectors and various ceIebrity obsessives (including Tom Hanks, John Mayer, David McCuIlough, and Sam Shepard) ceIebrate the typewriter both as object and means of summoning the creative spirit. The film cuIminates in the movingIy documented struggIe of CaIifornia Typewriter, one of the Iast standing repair shops in America dedicated to keeping the aging machines clicking. |
