Speaking previously about the project, Peretti shared her excitement with Deadline at getting to make the film.
"This is the project of a lifetime for me — a chance to have my voice embodied by a truly brilliant ensemble of comedic actors," she said.
"I am so moved to have a prolific, beloved and sharp comedy collaborator like Amy Poehler as a producer and actor. And grateful for my champions at MarVista, who took this from script to screen.
"Our dream was to watch a laugh-out-loud comedy film and I cannot wait to share what we have made with audiences as soon as possible! Also, I love my lawyer. She’s great."
First Time Female Director will be available to stream on Roku on March 8.
