Yes, here is an article about it:
Lights, camera, action: Hollywood star in Sacramento this week shooting new film
Actress and screenwriter Greta Gerwig is making her directorial debut with the Sacramento-set film Lady Bird.
Sacramentos Fabulous Forties neighborhood hosts the production of Lady Bird on Oct. 6, 2016.
Lady Bird, the feature-film directing debut of actress, screenwriter and Sacramento native Greta Gerwig, shot on location in East Sacramento on Thursday morning.
The shoot involved interior scenes in a white house in the Fabulous Forties. According to Sue Sheehan, who lives the same block as the filming site, the scenes depicted a Thanksgiving dinner. The turkey was supplied by Corti Bros., she said.
Other neighbors and what appeared to be extras dressed in preppy-style clothing milled about outside the house as a crew member yelled, Rolling! The windows of the room in which the filming took place were whited out.
Lady Bird, a Sacramento-set coming-of-age film starring Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan (Brooklyn) as a fictional high school senior, is expected to shoot at various locations in the region during the next few days.
Gerwig, a St. Francis High School graduate, told The Sacramento Bee earlier this year that she had wanted to shoot the whole film, which she also wrote, in her hometown. But she did not get the California state tax credit for which she applied.
Those scenes being shot here seem to go well beyond the usual breeze-by establishing shots done by most productions centered elsewhere. Equipment trucks and wh7ecat looked like talent trailers lined a few blocks of East Sacramento on Thursday morning.
Sacramento Film Commissioner Lucy Steffens told The Bee via email last week that we are looking forward to Lady Bird filming in Sacramento. She did specify days or times and wrote that the production is not doing any press at this time.
The production initially discussed going to El Dorado County as well, said Kathleen Dodge, who heads the film office there. But plans since had shifted and Dodge was not sure if that still was going to happen.
Gerwig also shot part of Frances Ha, the 2013 film in which she starred (and co-wrote with the films director, Noah Baumbach), in Sacramento.

I'd have to do a little research Poetswan, but there must be some kind of deadline involved because the committee screening prospective films needs time to decide on a final lineup, and I'm certain they must view hundreds of flicks before setting the program.
Lady Bird most likely will the the type of film that fits nicely into Sundance. We're going to have four of her projects on the big screen next year. -

I know the deadlines around this time. Itwould be impossible for lady bird to submit right now since they're still in the middle of filming. And Greta has other movies that she might be obligated to promote. So not a lot of time for post production. This is more likely to go to Toronto.

Just some nice news to hear about the impact Brooklyn has had in Ireland. Great to hear this movie has captured so many people's interest and is translating to the real world in somewhere like Enniscorthy
