What happens when you don’t achieve you dreams? What happens when perfectionism goes too far?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are taking a look at Little Miss Sunshine with the directors, Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. They’re talking about Richard’s harmful perfectionism and what happens when chasing your dream doesn’t work out. The directors share what it was like to work with such an exceptional cast and how they encouraged a realistic family dynamic. They particularly honor the late Alan Arkin’s fantastic performance. And they all talk about what gets the family to a better place.
