TL;DR Summary

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.
