Sloppy Firsts Film Festival

Sloppy Firsts Film Festival is a tongue-in-cheek backyard screening in Austin of the clumsy first films that working filmmakers made as kids or students, such as old music videos or high school shorts on VHS, MiniDV or outdated digital formats. Festival director Sullivan Herb runs it at a venue listed as Sully's Backyard. It is invite only, with priority for films at least 10 years old, and its awards are five random items bought at a thrift store each year. FilmFreeway lists three years running, but the only reviews date from September 2022 and no newer dates were found.
