Summary
A24-backed "Club Kid" released its first trailer, giving a first look at Jordan Firstman’s Cannes breakout ahead of its Nov. 6 theatrical debut.
The film follows a queer party promoter whose life is jolted when he meets the 10-year-old son he never knew he had, shifting the story toward fatherhood and reinvention.
"Club Kid" landed at A24 for $17 million after a Cannes bidding war involving Netflix, Searchlight, Focus Features and Mubi, underscoring its festival momentum.
Firstman wrote, directed and stars alongside Cara Delevingne, Diego Calva, Kirby Howell-Baptiste and Reggie Absolom, and has said a full promotional push for the queer cast was a priority.
After strong Cannes reviews, the film is shaping up as one of A24’s fall awards plays alongside Jesse Eisenberg’s "The Debut."
