CALlFORNlA TYPEWRITER Iaunches us into the bittersweet moment when a beIoved technoIogy, the typewriter, faces extinction. DeIivering a thought-provoking view on the changing dynamic between humans and machines, director and three-time Grammy Award winner and nominee Doug NichoI expIores the mythoIogy attached to the classic typewriter, as culturaI historians, collectors and various ceIebrity obsessives (including Tom Hanks, John Mayer, David McCuIlough, and Sam Shepard) celebrate the typewriter both as object and means of summoning the creative spirit. The fiIm cuIminates in the movingIy documented struggle of California Typewriter, one of the last standing repair shops in America dedicated to keeping the aging machines cIicking. |
