Edward Norton Quote
"The challenge of playing twins for an actor is very special, and I was very flattered that Tim sent 'Leaves of Grass' to me." I liked it so much, and felt so strongly that it was a film Tim understood to his core, that I took it to my partners and suggested we produce it. This is exactly the kind of personal filmmaking that we set out to support."Edward-Norton.org: Leaves of Grass
