And now Little Miss Sunshine, the film that Michael wrote that was filmed in and around Los Angeles last summer, has been announced as one of the premieres at January’s Sundance Film Festival. A heart-warmer about a family supporting their young daughter in the finals of a Junior Miss type beauty pagent, pic costars Gregg Kinnear, Toni Collette, Alan Arkin, Paul Dano and Abigail Breslin.
