CBSN
Chelsea Peretti, best known for her role in "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," has taken on the triple threat of starring, writing, and directing in her new film, "First Time Female Director," released Friday on Roku.
The comedy follows a woman thrust into the unexpected role of directing her own play, mirroring Peretti's real-life venture into the realm of directing.
When she first signed onto the project, Peretti initially doubted her ability to juggle writing, acting and directing.
The story of America can be told through the lyrics of folk music – songs of the Great Depression, the civil rights era, and the social revolutions of the 1960s. As folk singer Pete Seeger put it in 1967, "A song isn't a speech; a song is not an editorial. If a song tries to be an editorial or a speech, often it fails as a song. The best songs tell a story, paint a picture, and leave the conclusion up actually to the listener."
