Chelsea Peretti talks directorial debut 'First Time Female Director,' and wild fan interactions.
Chelsea Peretti is a comedy legend, perhaps best known for playing Gina Linetti in Brooklyn Nine-Nine. She has also written and appeared in everything from beloved sitcoms like Parks and Recreation to sketch series like Kroll Show. Peretti wrote and stars in her newest project, the hilarious First Time Female Director, which also serves as her directorial debut.
Obviously, you've worked with a ton of directors. Is there anyone that you really enjoyed working with as an actor that you were like, “This is the kind of director I want to be”? PERETTI: That's so cool. Rosie Sanders was our production designer. She worked with Tim Heidecker a lot, and she happened to be a mother at my preschool. So I met her that way, and I was like, “Would you ever want to do this?” And she's like, “Yeah.” And the thing that is so amazing about her is she’s such an artist. She has a vision. And when I was talking about rich people, she was referencing some rich person's house she had been in that had some kind of garish art.
PERETTI: I mean, I don't even know if I have a particular one in mind, but I do just think they’re really funny in general. And what everyone says is so up to interpretation and how things hit you. I mean, after my premiere, it's like people say so much weird stuff to you. The other day, I had a fan run up to me, and she was like, “I'm shaking. I'm so excited to meet you and da da da da.
PERETTI: If you can believe it, I think there was another character that got cut. I'm pretty sure. Because Amy [Poehler] was always like, “I think you should lose some characters.” But yeah, it was pretty ambitious for a first movie to have such a large cast. There were so many drafts, and then, even in the edit, so many things changed.
