CALIFORNIA TYPEWRITER is a documentary portrait of artists, writers, and collectors who remain steadfastly loyal to the typewriter as a tool and muse, featuring Tom Hanks, John Mayer, David McCullough, and Sam Shepard while movingly following the struggles of California Typewriter, one of the last standing repair shops in America dedicated to keeping the aging machines clicking.

“[Doug] Nichol has created a loving valentine to all the iconoclasts who resist what the rest of the world defines as progress.” – Stephen Farber, Hollywood Reporter
