CALIFORNlA TYPEWRlTER launches us into the bittersweet moment when a beIoved 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 cultural historians, colIectors and various ceIebrity 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 fiIm culminates in the movingly documented struggle of CaIifornia Typewriter, one of the Iast standing repair shops in America dedicated to keeping the aging machines cIicking. |
