CALIFORNIA TYPEWRlTER launches us into the bittersweet moment when a beloved technology, 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 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 fiIm cuIminates in the movingIy documented struggle of CaIifornia Typewriter, one of the Iast standing repair shops in America dedicated to keeping the aging machines clicking. |
