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.
On April 15, 1874 – 150 years ago – the first Impressionist exhibition opened on Rue du Capucines in Paris, featuring works by 30 artists, including Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Hosted by the "Anonymous Society of Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers, etc.," it was founded in response to the Paris Salon, the annual, government-sponsored exhibition that would frequently reject the works of the rising artists.
