CALIFORNIA TYPEWRITER is a documentary portrait of artists, writers, and collectors who remain steadfastly loyal to the typewriter as a tool and a muse. It also documents the struggles of the company California Typewriter, one of the last standing repair shops in America dedicated to keeping the aging machines clicking. The film delivers a thought-provoking meditation on the changing dynamic between humans and machines, and encourages us to ponder our relationship with technology, old and new, as the digital age's emphasis on speed and convenience redefines who's serving whom, human or machine? Featuring Silvi Alcivar, Ken Alexander, Tom Hanks, John Mayer, Sam Shepard, and many more. Starting this Friday, September 22nd at Merrill's Roxy!
