Are you a filmmaker?... You're here, so we'll assume yes.
Did you make films when you were younger? Like middle school, high school, or early college? Are they hilarious and embarrassing?... Of course they are.
Do you still have access to them, either on VHS, MiniDV, or an old FireWire 400 hard drive? And are they in some antiquated format (.wmv and .avi preferred)?... Perfect. We want to see them.
Sloppy Firsts Film Festival is a cute film festival looking for professional filmmakers' terribly made first films. We all start somewhere, so let's celebrate these films, instead of letting them collect dust on a shelf.
Every year we send out two board members to a local thrift shop to pick up 5 random items. These become our awards for the year.
What are the awards for? That depends on the films.
