- The film follows a party promoter unexpectedly caring for his ten-year-old son.
- Firstman says the story explores queer men’s prolonged adolescence.

## Summary

Jordan Firstman’s debut feature, *Club Kid*, follows a New York party promoter whose life changes when he unexpectedly becomes responsible for a son he never knew he had. The film adds a queer perspective to the familiar story of an adrift adult becoming a parent, and explores how a prolonged adolescence can delay growing up.

Firstman plays Peter, who has drifted from being a club fixture to a half-engaged promoter when his ten-year-old son arrives after the boy’s mother dies. Firstman said the character shares his loneliness and tendency to care for others while neglecting himself, though he joked that he was only 42 per cent like Peter. After its Cannes premiere in Un Certain Regard and a lengthy standing ovation, the film was acquired by A24 following a bidding war and submitted for Golden Globes consideration as a drama.
