A24 has officially released the first trailer for writer-director Jordan Firstman‘s upcoming feature film Club Kid. The sentimental comedy-drama debuts following a competitive studio bidding war at the Cannes Film Festival, where A24 acquired the distribution rights for $17 million USD.
The story follows a queer New York party promoter (played by Firstman) who has long outgrown the nightlife circuit, only to have his life upended when he unexpectedly meets the 10-year-old son (Reggie Absolom) he never knew existed. The supporting ensemble features Cara Delevingne, Diego Calva, and Kirby Howell-Baptiste. Highlighted by critics out of Cannes as a heartwarming entry in contemporary queer cinema, the project positions Firstman—known for roles in I Love LA, English Teacher, Hacks, and Rotting in the Sun—for a major fall awards push alongside A24’s The Debut.
During negotiations with competing buyers including Netflix, Searchlight Pictures, Focus Features, and Mubi, Firstman advocated for full promotional support for his ensemble, ensuring the entire cast would receive full travel and styling accommodations throughout the global press tour.
Club Kid officially opens in theaters on November 6, 2026.
