Film Information
From writer-actor-director Jordan Firstman, making his feature directorial debut, comes an intoxicating crowdpleaser brimming with equal parts humor and heart. A triumphant Cannes debut that sparked a bidding war and eclipsed many of the titles in the festival’s main competition, Club Kid showcases the infectious chemistry between Firstman, newcomer Reggie Absolom, and a stellar ensemble of non-professional actors, set against the vivid backdrop of contemporary New York City nightlife
A hard-partying New York City club promoter (Firstman) sees his whirlwind lifestyle upended by the arrival of Arlo (Absolom), the 10-year-old son he never knew he had.
Reviews
"Club Kid is a riot. I can’t think of one visual gag or scripted quip in the picture that doesn’t land...It is also a testament to how crucial it is for film-makers to tell the stories they know, and knowing that bathroom stall bumps and blurry after parties that stretch into the afternoon are worthy of 35-millimeter film stock.
