A24 Releases Trailer for Jordan Firstman's 'Club Kid'

Published 20 August 2026

The first trailer for "Club Kid," a comedy-drama written, directed by, and starring Jordan Firstman, has been released by distributor A24. The film, which became a standout at the Cannes Film Festival, is scheduled for a limited theatrical release in the United States on November 6, 2026. The story follows Peter, a thirtysomething New York City club promoter whose life of nightlife and perpetual adolescence is upended when a 10-year-old boy named Arlo, played by Reggie Absolom, arrives and reveals that Peter is his father. According to the film's synopsis, Arlo's mother has died, forcing Peter to suddenly assume responsibility for a child he barely knows. The trailer depicts Peter's awkward attempts to integrate fatherhood into his frenetic lifestyle, with Arlo becoming an unexpected source of stability. Firstman, known for his viral comedy videos and roles in series such as "I Love LA" and "Hacks," makes his feature directorial debut with the project. He described the film's inspiration as stemming from a period in his life when he was surrounded by friends' children and was also navigating a personal crossroads involving partying and relationships.
