Ken: You're now working on your movie now. It's your directorial debut.

Greta: Uh-huh.

Ken: What's the name of that movie?

Greta: It's called "Lady Bird." And I actually wrote the script and I'll be directing it...early-fall, and it, yeah, takes place in Sacramento.

Ken: That's the best part. Listen up, people. It takes place in Sacramento, she's going to do her first movie here in Sacramento, she is going to be casting for you...locals.

Greta: I'm casting! (laughs). And I'm very excited about doing it here and I'm bringing in...I have cast that I'm bringing in but I want to cast a lot of locals and use local talent. And I'm really thrilled about it, and I also love this city and...getting to show it off in a movie will be really fun.

"Lady Bird" is also being nominated for best picture, best screenplay, best Actor (Saoirse Ronan) and best supporting actress (Laurie Metcalf).
