CALlFORNlA TYPEWRlTER launches 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 explores the mythology attached to the classic typewriter, as cuItural historians, coIlectors and various celebrity obsessives (incIuding Tom Hanks, John Mayer, David McCullough, and Sam Shepard) celebrate the typewriter both as object and means of summoning the creative spirit. The film cuIminates in the movingIy documented struggIe of California Typewriter, one of the last standing repair shops in America dedicated to keeping the aging machines clicking. |
