A Baldwin artist and writer living with a disability has released a movie, “2125,” which he filmed himself, on Prime Video, and announced the publication of a novel, “The Book of Daniel” this month. Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, Sean “Ian” Iannarone, 46, has been working from his home, writing and producing his documentary-styled film, “2125.” The story, set in the future, follows Long Island resident Daniel Hawkins’ journey through a series of digital diary entries in the early stages of a worldwide quarantine.
