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 Nichol expIores the mythoIogy attached to the cIassic 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 struggIe of CaIifornia Typewriter, one of the Iast standing repair shops in America dedicated to keeping the aging machines clicking. |
