"Chelsea Peretti's Comedy Debut 'First Time Female Director' Acquired and Streamed by Roku"

Comedian Chelsea Peretti's debut feature film, "First Time Female Director," premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and is a manic, original, and unapologetic satire of the arts industry. Peretti wrote, directed, and starred in the film, which follows a playwright who is asked to direct one of her own plays at a small community theater in Glendale, California. The star-studded cast of comedians delivers a barrage of quips, recurring bits, and one-liners, making the film feel like a spring-loaded snake waiting to unleash its bevy of gags. While some of the recurring bits and cameos wear thin, the film's boldness and assured direction make it a breeze to watch.
