A 2022 American independent comedy film, A Little White Lie, was written and directed by Michael Maren and adapted from the 2014 novel Shriver by Chris Belden. Starring Michael Shannon, Kate Hudson, Don Johnson, and Zach Braff, it follows a handyman who shares a name with a well-known writer. He is mistakenly invited to a literary festival where he is greeted by fans and fellow writers, only to be revealed as an impostor when the real Shriver appears. The project's production began in 2017 but was delayed until 2020. Principal photography started in February 2020 and wrapped just one week prior to being interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Final editing concluded over a year later, with the film premiering in theaters and on video on demand on March 3, 2023.
