Overture Films Gift Wrap ‘A Little Something’ for Michael Engler

Overture Films are attaching Six Feet Under, Sex and the City, 30 Rock director Michael Engler (a nominee for the Directors Guild of America Award and Emmy Award for Outstanding Direction) to A Little Something For Your Birthday.

Overture Films are attaching Six Feet Under, Sex and the City, 30 Rock director Michael Engler (a nominee for the Directors Guild of America Award and Emmy Award for Outstanding Direction) to A Little Something For Your Birthday – a comedy that is set up by Anonymous Content. THR reports that Steve Golin and Alix Madigan of Anonymous are attached to produce. Jennifer Levine, who manages scribe Susan Walter, is an exec producer.
