'Club Kid' Trailer: Jordan Firstman Directs, Stars in A24 Comedy-Drama

The comedy-drama follows a queer club promoter whose life changes after he meets the 10-year-old son he never knew he had.

  • A24 released the trailer today for Jordan Firstman's feature directorial debut, "Club Kid," which follows a New York City club promoter whose life is upended by the arrival of his 10-year-old son.
  • After emerging as a breakout hit at the Cannes Film Festival with a seven-minute standing ovation, the film sparked a bidding war where A24 secured the rights for $17 million.
  • Firstman stars as Peter in this "sweet, surprisingly old-fashioned heartwarmer," with a cast featuring Diego Calva, Cara Delevingne, and Kirby Howell-Baptiste.
  • "Club Kid" is poised to be one of A24's big awards pushes this fall, with the film screening at the Toronto International Film Festival before a November 6 limited theatrical release.
  • Firstman, previously known for online sketch comedy, explores the crossroads where partying loses its luster, while Variety critic Guy Lodge praised the film's "stylistic exuberance" and emotional honesty.
