Re: A Programming Language (The Men Who Stare at Arrays)

I’m very pleased to accept your invitation to participate in this project as Executive Producer.

I’m impressed with the extraordinary uniqueness of the subject matter and your lifelong involvement in it. Your passion for the topic and the people associated with it is a huge asset. I particularly like your exploration of the genesis of APL and its eventual impact on the growth of computer languages.

More importantly, I’m excited about the way that you’re bringing out the human element of the story. I can see that this will be a film that can evoke emotional connection as well intellectual understanding of an “invention” that is the source of powerful changes in the human condition, and the world. It is an invention not unlike the printing press, which overturned centuries-old power structures and brought enlightenment to society.

I’m delighted to be working with you and I look forward to making this landmark film.

Sincerely,
Barry Pearson
