First Time Female Director

2023 · 97 min

A loose, silly backstage comedy that coasts on awkward improv energy and eccentric character bits more than on plot.

Tagline: The world’s a stage. Take the lead.
Overview: Writer Sam is thrust into the role of director at a local theater after her predecessor gets fired. Barely making it through each rehearsal, Sam struggles to wrangle her eclectic cast while trying different tactics to make her play a success.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, light and whimsical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Art, work, identity, ambition
Content: Strong language. Mild sexual content. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
