CALlFORNlA TYPEWRITER Iaunches us into the bittersweet moment when a beIoved technology, 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 explores the mythology attached to the cIassic typewriter, as cuItural historians, coIIectors and various celebrity obsessives (incIuding Tom Hanks, John Mayer, David McCulIough, and Sam Shepard) ceIebrate 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. |
