Initial Trailer for Jordan Firstman's Cannes Hit Club Kid
A notable takeaway from this year's Cannes Film Festival highlighted sidebar titles scoring higher than the more glamorous, award-focused competition section, with Jordan Firstman’s Club Kid often mentioned in these discussions. Unlike numerous films that premiere in southern France in May and may, if fortunate, find a limited release in the U.S., Firstman’s feature debut won’t be delayed: A24 plans to release Club Kid on November 6 after its screenings at TIFF and NYFF, and a first trailer has arrived ahead of that.
As Rory O’Connor remarked in our Cannes review, “For those who have tracked Firstman’s journey from Rotting in the Sun to I Love LA, this seamless transition to directing will be a delightful surprise. It’s significant that the film premiered in Un Certain Regard, a sidebar often utilized by the festival's programmers as an experimental platform for movie stars attempting to direct for the first time. What sets Firstman’s assured entry apart is that it feels more like the work of a natural rather than a hobbyist.”
Here’s the synopsis: “A hard-partying New York City club promoter finds his chaotic lifestyle disrupted by the unexpected arrival of the 10-year-old son he never knew he had.”
