The Typewriter in the 21st Century Gets a Trailer, Needs Support

A couple of filmmakers have been hard at work putting together a film on the typewriter and how it fits into our modern world.  Apparently there is a wave of support as younger people (re)discover the typewriter and all of its gloriousness.  I don’t think my daughter ever put her fingers on one and probably has no idea how cool they once were. Some writers still use them.  Sure, computers have mostly replaced them but even in a blackout you can still use a typewriter.  I love this idea and this trailer, which is why I pledged to support them in raising funds to get the whole film made (possibly for Oscar consideration as a doc one day, who knows).  Either which way, if you’d like to help support them, you can do so by going to Kickstarter.  They’ve raised 4845 against 20,000. Any sponsors out there — cough cough — Tom Hanks — are welcome also. Big wads of cash always welcome too. But of course, anything would be welcome as their project depends on their reaching their goal.  Here’s the trailer.
