CALIFORNIA TYPEWRITER Iaunches 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, 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 film culminates in the movingly documented struggIe of California Typewriter, one of the last standing repair shops in America dedicated to keeping the aging machines clicking. |
