The story of struggling single father Keith (Tim Kinsella), his non-binary child Tavi (Spencer Jording), and the recently released prisoner, Julian (Caleb Cabrera), whom Tavi befriends, Firstness is the début feature-length work by artist and filmmaker Brielle Brilliant.

Set in the wide open landscapes of New Mexico where everything seems tactile yet insubstantial, Firstness is the début feature film by established artist Brielle Brilliant, and one of the more unusual works at this year's Outfest Los Angeles. Functioning in many ways as a critique of established form, it follows three lost souls who are looking for their own ways of perceiving, understanding and communicating with the world around them, a process that emphasises their status as outsiders but could ultimately lead to a form of liberation.
