“It’s such a center of intellect, curiosity, science,” said director Lorenzo DeStefano, who is making a movie starring John Hurt that is based on the scholarship of Daniel Aaron, Harvard’s Thomas Professor of English and American Literature Emeritus, who edited and published the 17 million-word diaries of American poet Arthur Inman.
“HYPERGRAPHIA” – Independent filmmaker Lorenzo DeStefano takes on the yeoman's task of adapting the longest recorded diary in the English language—17 million words to be exact. Based on the work of early 20th century poet, Arthur Inman, the film tells the tale of a man obsessed with connectivity. - Eric Greene
